I wouldn't be too confident that PCem does not have bugs. I've played a lot with it recently because my 1512's monitor needs to be repaired and I have yet to find somewhere I can get that done. There are several things that don't work with PCem's 1512 emulation that should. I couldn't get a

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS 1.3-RC3 News!

Hi Jerome, what is V8PT and which beyond-text features does it need? If the FreeDOS kernel does not boot on 8086, that would definitely be a bug. Remember that it is a compile time option whether you want 8086 compatible or whether it is okay to optimize for 186 / 286 / 386. I do not think we
