I made my own DOS implementation (Announce)

posted by RayeR Homepage, CZ, 31.01.2024, 17:13

Nice, we have more YADs (Yet Another DOS). Wouldn't we rather see such modern features to be implemented in long years stagnating FreeDOS or EDRDOS? I understand it's exciting to write own DOS. On the other hand it usually ends with a bunch of incomplete abandoned projects that cannot fully replace old good MS-DOS that I still keeps as a reference for compatability.

OK, I don't want to beat down the enthusiasm. Sometimes it's better to start from a scratch than fight with some old sub-optimal decisions and compromises that made someone else in the past. As one key feature I would see the ability to boot on new UEFI CSM-less systems as they are spreading out. There was some attempts but... Adopting GPT and exFAT would be a good step. Good luck with the project.
