Even before you start to discuss technical
I have written some issues for Arduino Port of FreeDOS on freedos-devel.

I know this. But, FreeDOS Arduino Port don't need C: for storage,
it needs A: and B: generally. A: for flash memory on
microcontroller, B: for SD card. Flash memory device driver and SD
card device driver is simpler than floppy disk device driver, hard
disk device driver and PATA device

You don't need graphics, but even to manage a 80x25 text screen,

Sorry to be this blunt, but this is simply bollocks!

Hi Ercan, Bill, others,
The main question probably is WHY: If you port the kernel
to another platform (I think we even once had a 68000 one)
you would also have to port any app that you want to use,
starting with command.com - For both together, you already
need a few 100 kB of RAM which is not

The Uno wouldn't seem to have enough memory (flash OR RAM) to make this
worth while.
The Mega2560 has enough flash (ROM) for the OS and BIOS, but only 8K
of RAM, so I don't think it would be terribly useful either.
