Private problem of Macro$oft :-D

Use DBAN to delete it and install FreeDOS then ;-)

Many devices are sufficiently generic (USB, IDE/SATA, ICH/HDA sound,
Graph usually has some VGA/VESA support) so don't whine before you
tested DOS compatibility ;-)

Install DOS (not Windaube) if you want to develop for DOS.

The additional cores won't have any benefit for DOS but it
should work on the one of them at least.

But 16-bit DOS still used to work on 64-bit. Did you
confirm that it does no longer ?

BOCHS

NO

They both work in DOS (with some effort and some tiny problems) ;-)

Install FreeDOS rather than faking it.

Proper Win32 apps only (not DGJPP apps, not Linux32 apps, not OSama/2 apps).
