Anyway... I'm surprised that it is so uncommon to run FD on an old PC. IMHO it seems ridiculous to install FreeDOS on your P4 side-by-side with Windows XP like so many other people do. I mean what DOS software is going to run properly on a 3Ghz CPU? Besides, what else are you going to do with your old PC's? They would bog down to a crawl even on early versions of Linux or FreeBSD, but FreeDOS is perfect.
the problem is that older equipment is harder to come by if you don't already have it and it does eventually stop working (I still miss my ps/1 286 with its huge 2.5MB of RAM :-) so for me a 486 is about the oldest computer I test on that still has a fully working hard drive.
Should there need be, I can try and make my 8088, 80386, PS/2(286) machines for testings.
