Dr. DOS Still 'Doing It' At 8.0
An anonymous reader writes "Believe it or not, DOS -- DR-DOS, no less -- is still alive and kicking after all these years! Devicelogics, a company founded by former executives of Caldera and Lineo in Utah, says it has begun shipping version 8.0 of DR-DOS today. The company says the most significant enhancement in the latest version of this long-lived (and 'stable') operating system is support for FAT32 large partitions, enabling DR-DOS 'to keep up with market demand for DOS-based embedded solutions built on FAT32 platforms.'"
Just because somebody once worked for a company which, after a change of management, went on to do bad things doesn't implicate them in any way in that.
Look here, buster. We're short on two minute hate subjects today and you're trying to defend a known villain?
Silence!
... and they say that BSD is dying! ;)
FreeDOS is another altrnative depending on your requirements.
I believe that Sun's SunPCi x86 co-processor cards also use FreeDOS by default on their virtual drive files.
My pipe dream is to have a Sun workstation with an x86 card and a mythical PowerPC card... several versions of Solaris, several versions of Linux, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Mac OS X all in one box! Those dual-boot fanboys would drop to their knees and beg for mercy from such a beast!
Vote in November. You won't regret it.
to keep up with market demand for DOS-based embedded solutions built on FAT32 platforms. ..... because you can't buy 2GB drives anymore :-)
You are in a twisty maze of processor lines, all alike.
There is a lot of hype here.
