I cannot oversee compatibility issues here and my interest would be that whatever is choosen it should be most compatible for most hardware around. So would it be an option to add an Arkady-A000 switch that will skip the A000->A001 ? Everybody happy?
I don't agree with the option everything approach. This is one case whether the behavior definitively either should or shouldn't be present. Full MS-DOS compatibility camp says the A000->A001 changing code should not be there. Non-crashing standard FreeDOS kernel camp says maybe it's needed.
In a perfect world, I'd say it should go. Fundamentally, it's an artificial limitation, regardless of how few people use linked DOS memory above 9FFF. But breaking things (if they do break) isn't worth the price. I base that opinion on the current standard FreeDOS kernel for Joe User, not forks, branches, enhanced, or experimental compiles. Change (or fix) the _standard_ FreeDOS distro, you change my opinion.
