You might be interested in this video I recorded yesterday about running FreeDOS on the Pocket386: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h96UseZs6Q
It shows several apps and games on the Pocket386, mostly running some shareware games, plus Word for DOS, and As Easy As spreadsheet. If you're curious about its performance, here's a quick rundown of some games and apps: [not all of these are shown in the video] Games: - Dark Forces - runs a bit slow (but no SB16) - Doom - runs fine at small size - Duke Nukum - runs fine, uses PC speaker - Ford simulator - runs great! - Jill of the Jungle - runs great, full music and sound, sometimes has glitchy video in VGA but no problems in EGA - Pinball - runs great! - Rise of the Triad - runs fine at small sizes, uses AdLib for sound - Simple Senet - runs great! - Shadow Warrior - doesn't run (requires 9MB, this has 8MB) - Tomb Raider - crashes during setup (not a surprise, this is a 1996 game and requires way more memory and CPU than this laptop has - the game should have done a memory check) - Wolfenstein 3D - runs great! - Biomenace - runs fine - Commander Keen - Keen1-5 all work great! Apps: - Ability Office - runs great! - As Easy As - runs great! - Borland Turbo C++ compiler - editor runs fine, I've used the compiler to write a few test programs, no issues there - Word - runs great!
