I got my brand new Samsung Tablet about three months ago. I bought a small
USB hub and connected a mouse, flash disk and keyboard to that and could use
them all with my XFDOS distro.
But frankly I rather use my desktop PC instead.

Hi,
Since you mentioned QEMU on ARM in your more recent email, I figured
I'd come back to this to give some minor comments.

DOS4WIN64 is not intended to run on old PCs. I just try to keep packages
small to allow for fast downloads and fast program loads.
There is a lot of DOS software that will not run on Windows 7 or 8 in 64bit
mode. To allow DOS applications to be used on these systems they can be
bundled with
Rugxulo mentioned that Reactos is available in a Qemu environment for
Windows. This got me to setup such a Qemu environment for MetaDOS and my
XFDOS as well. You can download it here:

Without my included XFDOS ISO image this package is just about 5 MB in size.
So if you have a DOS application that you want to make available for Windows

package and allow your
I will use later versions of Qemu in the next release. However, I would like
to use binaries that use SDL instead of GTK because I think these require
less disk space.
Qemu is faster than Bochs if you run it on the processor it is currently
emulating. It will then use the real processor to

If you have the hardware to run a QEMU environment, disk space is
unlikely to be a huge concern.
If it *is* a concern, you may not be able to run

I tried MetaDOS on my Samsung Android Tablet using Qemu based Limbo PC.
Seems to work fine except for network support.
