DOS ain't dead

DOSes written in assembly (Developers)

Somewhere in 1985 I had to choose between Turbo Pascal and C as programming language. I chose for TP but sometimes I regret it, seeing how many programs and OSes are written in C. That Linux is written in C, is completely understandable, but a DOS, like FreeDOS, no.

So I started to write my own DOS, CBM-DOS. It is not MS-DOS compatible and has its own file system. I also started to create my own BASIC. At the moment it is bootable, partly based on CBM-DOS.

My question: are there other open source DOSes around, meant for 8088/8086 computers and purely written in assembly?
