I'm like you I do all on book keeping and wordprocessing on dos. Its easier to use than windows. I run my software on cf chips. I plug them into adapters. I can remove the dos chip and carry it to another computer to continue my work. Something that can never work with windows. Tired of working in

A small side trip about real work in real DOS. Since Win2K, my desktops have had a 2G, FAT16 primary at the front of the first HDD, carrying DOS and a boot manager, and two Win partitions, both logicals. Every other partition is a logical. Using that layout I am now running FreeDOS 1.1 and

Re: Would you use a native 32/64-bit FreeDOS/BIOS system? http://sourceforge.net/u/udocproject/profile/ I have written a few Assembly code snippets that will be helpful. I should probably talk in the development list to see how to think up 32/64-bit native implementations. For example, I have

Re: [Freedos-user] Would you use a native 32/64-bit FreeDOS/BIOS system?

Maybe you can use the open source coreboot/SeaBIOS projects? It would be stupid to write your own BIOS from scratch, much better to just take these successful implementations and use them By the way, if you have coreboot-supported motherboard, it is already possible with 1 simple command to

I was thinking that it could become necessary to start implementing a FreeDOS version that included natively its own BIOS, and that this combination of FreeDOS/BIOS is implemented entirely native as 32 or 64-bit code, to keep using the known DOS environment, the same DOS/BIOS INT calls
