Never, until now?

Is there a problem starting late?

Ever heard the expression "better late than never"?

Good question.

What are you trying to achieve?

Currently I'm running MSDOS source code on 32-bit ARM.

I don't have an x86 card on my Android phone, so the
solution I am currently using works best for me.

If you have an x86 card on your Android phone, by all
means, use it.

I'm not sure why an x86 card is superior though. It
would be superior if you were trying to run MSDOS
binaries unchanged. But I personally am happy to
recompile, and get much more than 1 MB of memory too.

If you're not happy to recompile, by all means, stay
with your x86 card, and stay in 1 MB.

You could argue that I'm the only person in the entire
world happy to recompile my MSDOS software. That may
be true, I have no way of knowing. But that is 1, not 0.

BFN. Paul.
