Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS in a browser
I learn something new everyday. So its a trail run of an OS without any risk. I like it. I usually install everything new on a seperate CF chip. There isn't anything else present to damage - like windows. My really important stuff is kept on a dos CF chip way out of the reach of a virus. Thanks very much for the explanation. cheers DS On Fri, 3 Apr 2015 10:57:27 -0500 Jim Hall writes: > On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 10:44 AM, Dale E Sterner > wrote: > > > There something very special about this link and I'm too ignorant > to know > > what it is. > > What is v86? > > > > DS > > > > > >> http://copy.sh/v86/?profile=freedos > > > > > v86 is a virtual x86 emulator.

A 10MB image downloaded by 100 people is already 1GB of bandwidth. A your could pick up a server (say from a vendor at lowendbox[1]) for a few dollars/month with 2TB or more bandwidth.

It's like VirtualPC or Bochs or VMWare or VirtualPC or QEMU or VirtualBox or any other PC emulator .. except v86 runs entirely in your web browser. You don't need to run a local emulator. JavaPC (aka 'JPC') and PCjs are other examples of a PC emulator that runs in the web browser. The tradeoff is that all the data lives on a web server somewhere, not your own computer. So the end-user has no control over what software gets installed. But if you want to let others experiment with your system (for example, to try out FreeDOS) without the risk of having to install it on their own, running the emulator in a browser isn't a bad idea.

There something very special about this link and I'm too ignorant to know what it is. What is v86?
