FreeDOS can be use on old or new machine, just depends on what you expected in return, maybe someone use a server grade PC to run DOS? Who knows! FreeDOS is aim at 'preserving' the good old DOS compatibility and ALSO improving the compatibility with new hardware architecture. It depends on how much resources we need to invest, new or old? FreeDOS have a good compatibility with old hardware (partial for 8086 and 286, almost full support for 386). That should be enough for most people, of course someone may want to use 286 laptop, then he/she may need to do extra work by choosing the '286 compatible' programs or drivers. FreeDOS is an OpenSource Project, we didn't have a bunch of programmers like Micro$oft working daily, so we have to put the rare resource in the right place.
