Look. The Arduino has EIGHT kilobytes of RAM. If you remove FAT32 and a few other features, the KERNEL without ANY other drivers still takes more than FOUR times as much space even on disk and a lot more in RAM. Why on earth do you believe that removing a few drivers would get you into any regions of even remote feasibility of that whole project at all? Because you also need a BIOS or the ability of the kernel to work without a BIOS, you will even need a lot more RAM. If you want only COM support and only a tiny subset of INT21 support then there is good news: I remember some gimmick in a Linux boot menu (lilo or syslinux, I think) which allowed to run similar-to-COM programs directly in the boot loader. Please read the technical data of Arduino again and then give me ANY reason to believe that ANYTHING DOS can ever run on it! Sorry that I have to be so explicit.
