Very DOS related.

Nice to know what DOS lacks.

Probably true ... but with such criteria it would be extremely hard to find anything NOT related to DOS at all ;-)

so what ? M64 works on "older" ***Box faking just an 80486 with built-in INT $21 support (did such a CPU ever exist in real ??? :confused: ) ? Did you test ? And even if true, what would be the conclusion ? Imagine that someone gets Linux 0.0.0.0.0.1 working in this ***Box - so all 64-bit Linux releases will become very DOS related ?

I mean that Menuet32 a long time ago got a native port of DOSBox 0.61, so you can run (some) DOS apps from within Menuet32 itself.

+ NTVDM + MEVDM + OSama/2VDM + DOGEMU + ... + ... + ... + BEO-VDM (??) ... DOS lives everywhere "inside" but nowhere standalone :-(

Well, the best thing about the internal Int21 support of DOSBox is that you can switch it off by booting an OS (even DOS :clap: ) from floppy or hard disk images.

I see nothing special in using MenuetOS or DOSBox emulator, but to use DOSBox in (the 'mature toy OS') Menuet I find to be very amusing. LOL! :-D
