Run Linux & Linux binaries on DOS (Announce)

posted by RayeR Homepage, CZ, 24.09.2020, 02:08

Yes, I readed the author post...

But such DOS system is quite limited to realmode-only programs that must also behave nicely to the hardware to not destroy the linux in backgroud or they have HW restricted access by VM. So i think it's less usable than having a linux with running DosEmu that can also run p-mode dos programs + e.g. the SB emulation. I can imagine that DosEmu could be patched so you could call linux commands from dos prompt and would be passed to running linux. But he turned it upside down where I see more drawbacks than advantages. He also wrote there that he may include DPMI support so it could be then possible to run some p-mode programs in dos. But it will be still limited compared to normal dos (with ability of XMS and extenders). Maybe if he run the linux on 2nd core, maybe with aid of VT-x it could have better separation and robustness...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
