I run DOS under XP with
"TAME" to stop 100% CPU usage.
I am curious -- how? In some sort of VM? MS VirtualPC is a free

I've got the name wrong. It's TameDOS.
Nope, not free. It appears to be still available at $20 from the author

100% CPU usage on a notebook is very noisy with the fan running flat out.
and then Mark William's COHERENT.
Ah, that was an amazing OS in its day. So Unix-like, AT&T sent Dennis
Ritchie himself to the MWC offices to check it wasn't pirated. It
wasn't.
I didn't know that ;-) Coherent was advertised in BYTE magazine and was
very reasonably priced at the time. It came with and impressive 1200
page plus printed manual. When I moved to DOS, I think I used Kermit to
transfer my source files from Coherent to a DOS partition.
