There is a free DOS called, predictably FreeDOS (http://freedos.org), which

Thank you all for responding to my request and, from what I have read,
it seems that this machine will not run any reasonably current OS. I
have also unearthed a lot of old games which probably ran on DOS from
3.5in floppies. I wonder if I can find an old DOs disk, that would be

Which is about 50x more powerful than this machine, which came with
about 32MB of RAM and a 75MHz CPU or something like that.

I have unearthed an old Toshiba Satellite S300CDS/2.1GB which appears to
be in working order. It has Windows 2000 installed but needs a password
which nobody knows. It seems to me to be a good idea to try to install a
version of Ubuntu and would like to know what you would suggest.
Thanks
