Hi Jim!
My favorite example of someone running FreeDOS was years ago, probably around 2005. They built pinball machines, and FreeDOS ran the scoring system, lit the lights, and played sound effects from a sound bank...
Maybe they used some type of lab control or GPIO type ISA or PCI card?
My favorite example before that was a nebulous one. Someone from NASA emailed me in the late 1990s to say they were using FreeDOS on some of their computers. They never provided details, so I don't know what it was doing - but how cool that NASA was using FreeDOS!?
I remember somebody asking whether FreeDOS had contributions from people from evil countries, because they wanted to use it to run some type of in-flight entertainment system with some media player app for DOS :-) More recently, during a small demoscene event, I noticed that one of the presented demos was a 256 byte demo running on FreeDOS. The boot message was only visible for a moment, so I do not know what type of virtual hardware that FreeDOS instance was running on.
