in the late 90s.
This *is* the FreeDOS list, right? Haven't seen a post about that in awhile.

Alright, point conceded.

Developers are fairly close-minded. They don't usually target anybody
outside of the big three, which usually means POSIX + Windows. And
these days they get more kicks out of having ten bazillion ports to

Most embedded processors (that are still actively produced) are
32-bit. Anyways, I don't think FreeDOS qualifies, at least not for
8-bit (AVR??) ones.
PIC16F505, PIC16F1938... these are microchip baseline 8 bit
microprocessors intended for embedded use. Yes microchip offers

An interesting historical note, early versions of the FreeDOS kernel (DOS-C
kernel) were portable to the 68k architecture. See (
