I believe that this is an untruth (although I suppose that it might be
true for SOME vendor's version of MSDOS).  I have a Tandy 1200, I run
PCDOS 3.1 by default (on my hard disk), but occasionally boot with the
MSDOS 2.1 floppy which came with the system, and I can access all the
hard disk files just fine!
