Thanks for the replies! Sorry for not providing the context, and yeah PocketDOS is an emulator for WindowsCE, so mainly for pocket PCs / handheld PCs.
Website of PocketDOS: http://pocketdos.com After some research I figured it's true that PocketDOS supports only up to 186. Thanks for pointing this out. (I found there is a plugin that gives PocketDOS the ability to emulate 486, however A) it doesn't work with the latest version of PocketDOS; B) even if it did, it would be extremely slow (expectedly). But can FreeDOS really not run on 186?
