ecm Düsseldorf, Germany, 07.03.2025, 23:01	What's the 86 DOS system with the smallest LMA footprint? (Announce) Post reply
	I compared MS-DOS v5, FreeDOS, Enhanced DR-DOS, and the lMS-DOS based lDOS in this question and answer. All using the same dosemu2 and FreeCOM. https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions...em-with-the-smallest-low-memory-area-footprint/ --- l
