No nareszcie, nie mogłem się doczekać, jak wprowadzenia 640kB RAM, które miało wystarczyć już chyba dla wszystkich?😉

Tak 4.0 udostępniony jako open-source. Śmiechy śmiechami, ale sporo systemów będzie dzięki temu "uratowanych"?🤔
Choć istnieje od lat!

Kiedy Norton Commander pójdzie w open source‼️

»Microsoft veröffentlicht Quellcode von 37 Jahre altem MS-DOS 4.0«

Es wird in Industrie und Firmen, je nach Gerät oder Maschine, immer noch das DOS-Betriebssystem benötigt doch dafür ist @freedosproject aktuell einsetzbar. Abgesehen davon, ist dies immer schon Open-Source Software und deswegen offen einsehbar, so wie wenn nötig korrigierbar.

I ported the plugins from to , so the next release of will contain , Sun Raster and loading/writing.

I also added a more sophisticated way of detecting keypresses, so creating games with keyboard input will be easier.

Well, on the board sucked.
Running is no solution either (no packet driver for the RTL8110 and no sound).

This is why I now try to compile a bespoke using https://buildroot.org/

I already booted into a first test image, now I'm going crazy with the packages to install and recompile 😊
