Tuxera Systems acquired Datalight in 2019 and now sells ROM-DOS. They
claim it's still fully compatible with MS-DOS.
Single User ROM-DOS costs $55 USD, and the SDK for building it embedded
is "Call for a Quote".
$55 isn't that bad. If it was a real commercial product with printed manuals,
disks, etc. I would say that is pretty fair. However, I think it is a download
only purchase option though. On the upside it supposedly has built in support
for LFN and FAT32....
That price wouldn't be bad at all if the "ROM" part were included.
I have embedded systems from a V40 8088-alike to Pentium that will run
from EPROM or EEPROM; it would be fantastic to have the DataLight/Tuxera
run-from-ROM tools.
And sadly, even the SDK delivers on CD - no paper for you!
