I'd recommend QEMU for running FreeDOS on Raspberry Pi (RPI). Personally, I prefer it for x86 too.
I run multiple qemu-based x86 FreeDOS nodes (sometimes 6 or more) on a single RPI-4 with plenty of CPU cycles to spare. Using APM aware software in FreeDOS (like FDAPM) really helps with CPU usage, otherwise DOS will consume 100% of a single CPU core (it doesn't know any better). - Darrin On Mon, Feb 1, 2021 at 9:19 AM Jon Brase <jon.br...@gmail.com> wrote: > Accidentally replied to Eric instead of the whole list, my apologies to > him that he's receiving it twice: > On 2/1/21 7:47 AM, Eric Auer wrote: > > If you have a few GHz of ARM speed, try DOSBIAN: > > https://cmaiolino.wordpress.com/dosbian/ > > Regards, Eric > > > I'll note that DOSBIAN violates the GPL on DOSBox, and probably on > Raspbian, too (I don't see stated anywhere that he's using Raspbian as a > base, but it's almost certain that he is, given the name and platform). > > The developer asserts, falsely, that "Dosbian doesn’t contains any > copyrighted material."
