Re: Would you use a native 32/64-bit FreeDOS/BIOS system? http://sourceforge.net/u/udocproject/profile/ I have written a few Assembly code snippets that will be helpful. I should probably talk in the development list to see how to think up 32/64-bit native implementations. For example, I have

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

I think developing FreeDOS Arduino port through source code changes and some optimizations. Microcontrollers using on Arduino is Harvard Architecture. For this reason, FreeDOS Arduino port is requires less resource than FreeDOS x86 binaries. FreeDOS Arduino port may not be realized without

It was partitioned, with an MBR, accessible to Windows when connected to a USB to IDE adapter. Currently it's bootable to a DOS prompt. I used the "China DOS Union" DOS 7.1 boot floppy with a USB floppy drive to fdisk and format the DOM installed in the thin client. I could go ahead and put

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. Bill Dudley This email is free of malware because I run Linux. On Fri, Jan 12,

Hello, I'm Ercan Ersoy (creator of DOS Coreutils and FreeDOS TUI Shell) and this e-mail address that I use general purpose. I have an idea. FreeDOS is a operating system that has some advantages. But, FreeDOS only runs PC platform. I think, FreeDOS can be ported other hardware such like
