I have come up with many uses and flavors ideas for Freedos. I was excited to see in the past that many companies produced different flavours/distros of DOS and am excited for the future of freedos.
The following are a few projects that are available by the community: DOSBOX : a virtual DOS system used at first for gaming, and available on many hardware platforms... provides real drive hardware access. GPL license MSDOS 4.01 and source code: now fixed and under an MIT license. ideas for the future: use Freedos for a wrist watch os. The samsung watch hardware has alot of power. BigDOS: windows 98 ran on a DOS. Port to Amiga, and c64 BIOSFreeDOS/UEFI Support/questions: supposedly UEFI runs on top of DOS. Maybe a config file or static look-up table could be used in place of a bios?... or have freedos be the UEFI? BFreeDOS: feel free to use the name idea. FreeDOS for the blind and others. I found out my parents and others hated using the computer. Programs could be set to run with a single keystroke, like a kiosk or button user interface. The reason why people around me hated using the computer was the steep learning curve. Blynix - is a web browser for the blind using text, and is available for multiple platforms. It requires some configuration and has support for https. The g key can be used to type in a web address. The browser uses a config file. Here is a link to intro on FreeDOS: https://opensource.com/article/18/4/gentle-introduction-freedos Carry on. R.
