 Yes, it is possible to run DOS on your machine since you have a 8086
processor (CP/M 86), so your machine would be similar to the Z-100
which runs both CP/M 86 and DOS, but the only problem is that with the
8086 processor as opposed to the 8088 the machine isn't totally  100%
IBM compatible, but it runs some version of DOS written for the machine,
but reading other DOS disks (IBM, etc.) is not a problem.
  Something like DOS 1.0 - 2.0 might boot off your machine right off, but
no guarantees....  ( The Z-100's ran those versions when I used to use
them....and I went back and forth between DOS and CP/M with the Rdcpm
command, and maybe some other command for reading DOS disks....
