Also,perhaps we should allow our new OS to "see" more RAM and memory.FreeDOS/DOS only "sees" a specific amount of RAM.I could have 5GB of RAM,and it will only read 1MB,and so on with the computer cores. On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 6:21 PM, JAYDEN CHARBONNEAU < jcharbon

First thing I noticed (This may be just me.),is that we need more memory for the OS environment.Normally,when I boot FreeDOS on ANY computer (Be it modern or old),the memory is always 601 MB free.More memory would be needed for a bigger file system and multi-tasking. On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 5:54 P
