Don't they have backups of their precious floppies? After all, the content of these floppies is of museum value, too, and I'm not sure a museum would be thrilled to display a 30-years old system that boots into a system from 2015. > ( IBM 5550 at a friends place that still works !) Does it run FreeDOS currently at all? And if so, is it still used for actual work, other than being booted twice a year for show in front of family and friends? Ergo would it benefit in any tangible way from an operating system upgrade? > For these old machines we must also ALWAYS provide a floppy only > distribution. Who is "we", precisely? Are you willing to contribute significant amounts of time, effort or money to keep FreeDOS entirely functional in the 8086 realms?
