I know what is wrong. According to Applied Engineering's 1989 catalog,
the PCT comes with 640K of memory. Apparently, earlier versions came
with 256K standard. By 1989, you pretty much needed 640K.

MS-DOS 5 requires 640K minimum. Could someone with a knowledge of the
PCT direct the poster to sources of the right type of memory chips?

PC world, though, 640K is pretty much the bare minimum (even in 1989)
so it is not surprising that MS-DOS 5 can't boot up.
