As you say, we have an existing solution to run multiple instances of
FreeDOS on a modern system: Linux + DOSemu
<http://www.freedos.org/jhall/blog/?id=20090422-143518>. Creating another
non-DOS system just to emulate DOS on modern systems isn't necessary. I
don't support the "emulation" route.

Chelson says he has used programmers on freelancer.com before (he does game
development). I think developing a small app for an iDevice is a different
thing than updating the codebase from something like FreeDOS-32. But I'm
curious to see what he can do.
If I understand the Kickstarter rules correctly, he has to reach his $2,500
goal before Kickstarter will release the funds to him.
