Okay. Then take an x64 Linux distro or Windows x64 and be happy. Both work on/with disks, so these qualifies as "DOS".

In general, FreeDOS, DR-DOS, PTS-DOS, ..., were modelled after MS-DOS. Not talking about MS-DOS in this case, would be not talking about DOS anymore as we understand it in this forum.

Do you want to talk about putting an ARM64 CPU to a C64 and creating a 64-bit Commodore DOS now?

Nice. But as you see, your case is not everybody else' case.

Not the first time in human history, that "simple" questions are not so simple to answer.
