Useless. end of life, and over 100 bucks, neither one of which is my target goal for building dos based devices with SBC components. Good catch though, they could have been helpful had I known about them 10 years ago. On 10/19/2024 8:54 AM, G.W. Haywood via Freedos-user wrote: Hi there, On

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos on raspberry pi.

Hi! The Raspberry Pi idea seems like far more work than necessary.  All the more reason for choices.  So that those who can explore this door can, but those who  want access to freedos on hardware can enjoy this as well. The lack of a keyboard made this a nonstarter  as far as I am concerned.

Far be it for me to judge creative expression. still I recall the goal of Mike I believe where dos and accessibility is concerned. Between computers put aside because someone decided they were out of date. desire for independence. Ease of putting the access together and so forth? The Raspb

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos on raspberry pi.

Yeah, all of the x86 single board computers are well over the $100 mark, and some are as high as 400, so that's a nonstarter.  I have yet to find one that is an X86 SBC for a lower price point. If I was going to spend 400 bucks, I'd not bother with a single board computer, I'd get a real one.

Re: [Freedos-user] Dos on raspberry pi.

Hi! Just to clarify: I am *not* planning to transform a RPi into a standalone "DOS computer that talks". That was Eric's idea. A perfectly valid idea with possible practical applications, but outside of my specific interest. Not transform. You run DOS in an emulator. Only the emulator runs

I thought this was cool: Patrick Aalto ported DSx86 to the Raspberry Pi, as rpix86 (as in "R. Pi x86"), so now you can run DOS on the Pi. http://rpix86.patrickaalto.com/ >From his blog (http://rpix86.patrickaalto.com/rblog.html) I gather that this is running its own DOS kernel, but does provide
