Well, no, it emulates for example an Olivetti M-24, which isn't really 
an IBM compatible PC. Unfortunately, the list of provided ROMs isn't 
very descriptive to tell easily if it supports any other non-compatible 
ones.
And the supported image formats include the HDI format, which is 
commonly used for PC-98 based systems...


But the best bet for any PC-98 emulation is probably Neko II 
https://www.yui.ne.jp/np2/, though a bit tough if you are 
Kanji/Katagana/Hiragana challenged :-P

Does 86box allow emulating a Japanese NEC PC-9800 machine? Or does it

Some models can boot from CD-ROM, none of them can boot the FreeDOS 
cdrom. The kernel freaks out and crashes.


However; most models can boot FreeDOS from a floppy. From there you 
can manually (fdisk,format,xcopy) install FreeDOS onto a hard disk 
-at least with the models (486+) which are able to read the cdrom.


For FreeDOS 1.3 it would be very helpful if there was some sort of 
installer on the CD that someone could run even if they're not able 
to boot the cdrom. Additionally it would be great if there was an 
emulator-ready floppy image included on the iso that could be copied 
out and then used to boot and install FreeDOS from. (When possible, 
more options are better)


I've enjoyed using FreeDOS for a few years now, and I appreciate the 
hard work y'all put into these releases -thank you!

Oh, and I misspoke about 86box -the highest/most recent CPU it will
