I tried ZDOS but it didn't make me happy. It seems to be some preprealpha. I booted successfully from a floppy on my machine. Zebor FDISK didn't run. FreeFDISK 0.98 hangs when runing twice. Framebuffer driver didn't work - it displayed thate mode was set ok but still the same. I tried to run some basic DOS programs but got many many crashes, hangs and garbage screen floodfils (eg. some basic utils like tree.com) Only some small programs can run there, like micro manager or advanced fullscreen debugger. But don't expect you can run DJGPP progs. Maybe when you made special zdos app with bundled OW it will works fine but compat. with existing progs is poor.
Also when I played with trying what programs run it somehow made a file "????????.COM" on my partition and I cannot delete it normal way (diskeditor was needed). Also it didn't saw my FAT32 partitions I though it can.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
