You might want to give SvarDOS a try, it's designed specifically with
8086 compatibility in mind. The current stable release is still FreeDOS
based, so once installed you can easily tailor it to mimic a "normal"
FreeDOS system.

Hi
I am trying to resurrect an old Amstrad PC-1512, which is an 8086
machine with 640K mem.
The hard drive is no good, but I have installed a XT-IDE SD card
adapter which seems to work.
I have used QEMU to install FreeDOS from FD13LGCY.iso but I can't seem
to get a 8086 compatible install.
The build is always for 80386 or higher. I can see there should be a
way to run setup with parameters to make this happen, but can't find
what the right combination might be.
