You can install FreeDOS and ROS on the same FAT(32) partition and use GRUB4DOS to choose which one to boot. Installing ROS maybe tricky, make backup if you install on existing partition with important data (in the past I got FAT messed by ROS setup).

The latest ROS have some prealpha of NTVDM that can run some DOS apps under it but it's incomparable with XP NTVDM.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
