I have used the boot manager from XFdisk or Grub 2 and have installed

home swap) that the ubuntu derivatives require. The the minimum FreeDOS

Wikopedia saying 2T but could easily be wrong.
DOS might have problems with SATA drive. DOS reads from the harddrive a

because one bit at a time is just too slow.

FAT16 is limited to a 2GB volume size. FAT32 goes up to 8TB.

The above statement might sound confusing for the occasional reader. To

On the matter of browsers for DOS, Lynx, which I am using now,
supports https and has done so for 10+ years. What is not
available in any DOS browser is javascript. Much of javascript
in web pages is to load and reload advertising, which I don't
miss at all. However, the (action) in many html
Serial devices are always slow; I don't know how they get around it.
SD cards are serial like SATA and they really are slow. The hard drive
clock must be super fast to get those speeds. They also have to transfer
handshakes serially. I wonder how its done. Some really great
engineering there.
Tranferings 1 bit at a time is always slower than 8 bits at a time.
if the clock stays the same for both. How SATA beats this
is something I don't understand. SATA doesn't have seperate
handshaking outputs so handshkes have to travel the same serial lines.
Quit a feat of engineering there. When I

I can think of only 2 ways an engineer can get those speeds out of a
serial device.
A very fast clock or big external buffers. I think DOS could handle a
fast clock
but if they use buffers; DOS may not know how to use them like windows or
Linux.
I never used SATA so I can't say. You would be in
