The only emulator I know of that has a Tandy 2000 as a supported computer is MAME. Are there any others?

Is there something you are trying to do that doesn't work in mame?

Dosbox X can emulate the 80186 and a bunch of different kinds of graphics and sound chips.. I don't know about the special version of DOS it ran though. You could probably get it to load it from a floppy as a booter.

This is misleading, it runs most stuff including Windows 1.0.

It doesn't. It emulates an 8086 with the 80186 extra instructions, not the 80186 builtin peripherals, which is effectively an nec v20.

What is/are the 80186 builtin peripherals?
Just curious, I don't know what that refers to.

The 80186 has a builtin interrupt controller, dma controller and timer none of which are pc compatible which is why it wasn't used in any* pc clone computers. The tandy 2k requires them for proper emulation.
* There's at least one, the Triumph-Adler Alphatronic P50, which has the usual pc devices and disconnects the builtin pic and ignores the timer and dmac.

Not specifically, I was just wondering if any other emulator supported this computer. I used to own one years ago and was interested in trying it out again without having to purchase one.
