Once you start getting into the world of embedded systems and industrial
controls and real-time communications protocols, your view of what computers
are supposed to be and do changes significantly. DOS can be a very robust
solution in those types of applications. Simply throwing money (such a
"640K of memory should be enough for anybody."

Hi Eric,

Hi Andreas,
how do you manage to receive gigabytes of data from a
few dozen peers with mere megahertz of CPU clock rate?
What are the chances to reduce server RAM footprint?

there is simply no DOS application needing even 100 MB.
making more than 4 GB available won't change this.
applications needing more then 4GB would probably benefit more from
multiple cores.
You may not know it, but I still use DOS to this day in an indu
