FreeDOS 0.9 does work on a 8086 (Amstrad PC1512), however it's crippled compared to MS/PC/DR DOS, because freecom cannot be reloaded from disk to free conventional memory for programs. > On top of that, most drivers require 286 or better, and several are 386+. Most drivers are not needed or useful on a 8086 anyway. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
