Brave man!
FWIW, possibly the optimal DOS for that machine would be DR-DOS 3.41.
It's as small as MS-DOS 3.3. All later DOSes (MS o
Hi Jerome,
Just a quick follow up. At first I didn't really fully understand all
the discussion about various COMMAND.COM versions, as they all appeared
the same.
But after reading the install scripts and looking through the various
directories, I realised I could (and maybe should) copy the

Hi Jerome, Trevor, Mateusz etc. :-)
Thanks for explaining how to turn 386 installs into 8086 ones!
I hope the CPU detection is now working, so the installer
will create an 8086 install when used on 8086 systems?
Does the installer have an option to manually select an
8086 compatible install r
I’m glad you got it working. :-)

OK
I misunderstood your message, I thought that you just copied kernel to sd card,
but I see that you overwrote it into prepared „floppy set”.

I don't know. I have no experience with FreeDOS before this, but I think
the FloppyEdition installs only the 8086 compatible files when you run
"setup adv 8086" and just copies the the wrong kernel by mistake.

The problem is that you are installing into a 386+ machine expecting it to work
on an 8086.
The Floppy Edition can install to an 8086 with EGA
You might want to give SvarDOS a try, it's designed specifically with
8086 compatibility in mind. The current stable release is still FreeDOS
based, so once installed you can easily tailor it to mimic a "normal"
FreeDOS system.
