Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS on a compute stick

his notion is doable. The answer seems to be, if he gets one that boots Windows or Linux and installs DOSBox, he can do it. If he insists on using FreeDOS, he has a problem because he may not be able to get it to boot due to the Compute Stick design. __ Dennis ----

Re: [Freedos-user] FreeDOS on a compute stick

I had a ComputeStick at my previous job; we bought it to experiment with for campus computer labs. That device is weirdly locked down. I didn't get a chance to boot FreeDOS on it, but even booting a Linux distribution was a pain. On Jan 7, 2016 3:57 AM, "Xavier Dury" wrote: >
