Dos makes sense for 8/16 bit computers that can't handle multitasking
very well. There are plenty of 8/16 bit computers around still, think
e-readers probably and other embedded devices that don't need the
higher functionality a 32/64 bit machine/multi core machine offers.
Dos was a quick and d

Actually I use DOS because I use an antique office package "Open Access
IV". It works for me, does it's job very nicely and has survived nearly 25
years without a virus etc. I can write a program using the word processor,
database and language calls in a quarter of the time it would take on other

[MS-based] "DOS" is exclusively 16-bit, it won't work on 8-bit at all
(at least not in "traditional" sense or any reasonable variant that I
know of).
P.S. Starting from here of course

Last night I installed FreeDOS on my HP Pavilion g series laptop. Everything
seems to work fine, except I can't access my DVD ROM drive. I have spent
several hours reading the help files and examining the config.sys and
autoexec.bat files, but I can't figure out what the problem is.
I figured t
You need a cd/DVD rom driver that supports your drive
Installed in config.sys
If you want I can send you some drivers for highspeed driver
Let me know..

Thank you for the responses. Unfortunately, since I have no way to load a
driver because of the DVD ROM not working, I guess I am back at square one.
That's OK. I guess I could run FreeDOS ın virtualBOX on LINUX.

There should also be made a distinction between real time input and real
time output and servo loop. If you are capturing timing events you really
only need to respond to an event and store a time for later processing. I
usually use a microcontroller and write a routine around its interrupts so

I just want to inform the few braves who still use (or even work with)
any flavor of DOS, that i just released a new version of my DOSUTILS
package. I added a new utility to the package and two others were improved.
The new utility INLINE allows to place multi-line data, that is to be

It's the clock, just the clock. It's a square wave usually, the old up and
down. Pin 19, CLK, on the Intel 8086 DIP
When emulating the speed of a 8088, 8086, 80286,... CPUs you need to
emulate the Clock cycles

So sticking in NOPs may not work.
