What compatiblity exactly are you talking about? FreeDOS to hardware, existing DOS-programs to FreeDOS or both?

Software: DOS 6.22 compatiblity is given, though someone can't say for sure that a program, which has not been tested, will 100% work.

Hardware: I am experiencing some crashes/strange behaviour on some hardware configurations. Exotic stuff like a Commodore 386 I am playing right now with or newer hardware.

I had only 2 or 3 hardware configurations with problems with FreeDOS out of at least 20 systems on which I have used and booted with FreeDOS. Apart from these I would consider FreeDOS as a fully-working replacement/enhancement to MS-DOS 6.22.

Just try it with the software you want to run in a VM with FreeDOS. After this install FreeDOS on the desired hardware. If both goes well, there should be no point against FreeDOS.
