I'm thinking of modern video cards and multiple core processors.
I would imagine that Freedos in 16 bit mode can't use multiple
cores. One of the problems with DOS that I recall is a total
lack of hardware protection. This allowed direct hardware
access, which is fast. Unfortunately,
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm afraid, that the system, which is supposed to
be simple, light and really fast, just cannot have any protection
layers - and _should_ allow direct access to hardware (unlike all
those Unix-variants).
The 386 on up supports protection in hardware to a certain degree.
A thought experiment, could a 32 bit version of Freedos with a version
of Opengem that can support modern hardawre run on one processor
core while dos command lines that are actually full blown dos run on
the other processor cores? Segment the memory so that each core, say
1 gig per core on a
Direct hardware access is practically speaking the fastest way to go,
but it is not the most maintainable approach. The problem with
using say WordPerfect or MS Word or Visicalc even, hardware is changing.
The printers of the MS-DOS era have largely been replaced by networked
printers and USB

Freedos has it's place. Unlike ReactOS, Freedos actually works most of

Anyways, you can actually dual boot both FreeDOS and MS-DOS. See MetaKern.

The person may not want to dual boot. Too bad there isn't a free

Freedos may provide pressure if it is popular enough to stay with well
known standard interfaces. If AHCI is going to be a well known
interface and it offers some advantage over SATA, Freedos can have a
driver for it and there is no reason to worry. In environments that are

Freedos doesn't support any printers, but software programs which run

For example, if running WordPerfect 6.0, dos version, you will need a

Freedos in general is an IDE only system, but why not support SATA I/II/III?
No MS-DOS, DR-DOS, etcetera don't support SATA, but why not support it
anyways?
What are the implications of adding SATA support to the kernel or
through a TSR?
The obvious workaround is to get a SATA to PATA
