This highly limits the amount of fancy stuff one can do.
You can use TDSK (Turbo Disk) to use convention memory for RAM disk. However, I do think it's better to get "something" out, even if it's 386+ and needs CD, rather than trying to do literally everything by yourself (with few testers) in the vain hope that it's still 8086 and floppy friendly. (I'm totally sympathetic to 8086, but it's very very hard to stay 100% compatible unless you write or compile everything yourself, which is impossible.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
