Pointless. DOS is an x86 OS. There are no x86 smartwatches. You'd need to run it in an emulator which would squander the very limited battery life. No point. > BigDOS: windows 98 ran on a DOS. So what? > Port to Amiga, and c64 No. Amiga uses 68000 and that's dead. DOS is not a portable OS and it can't be moved from x86 to anything else. It depends on and uses the segmented memory architecture of x86-16 and it would be impossible as well as pointless on anything else. The point of DOS is that it's very simple and primitive. It would be much much *worse* than AmigaOS. DOS was based on the design of CP/M. CP/M existed for 68000: CP/M-68K. Go resurrect that: the sources are there. https://www.mega-micros.co.uk/cpm-68k.htm Atari TOS was loosely descended from DR-DOS and CP/M-68K. EmTOS is a modern version. It already runs on Amiga. https://github.com/emutos/emutos/blob/master/doc/readme-amiga-rom.txt C64 is an 8-bit architecture. DOS is 16-bit. Also impossible and pointless. But there is a kinda-sorta CP/M for 6502 now. https://github.com/davidgiven/cpm65 Channel your enthusiasm into learning the history! You are missing a lot of the bigger picture here.
