I tried Freedos some time ago with similar results. After two days
I gave up trying to keep it from crashing; but that was on a PC.
The 80188 has interrupts and things in way strange places, and OS's
are written for IBM/PC hardware, and are not abstracted at the BIOS
level.<br>
<br>
MSDOS 5.0 and 6.22 seem to hold together well. The trouble is that
so many applications want to write to VGA, MDA, or HGC memory
directly for nice character menu layouts. Bummer.<br>
<br>
Luckily, 'fdisk' and 'format' are too old to be in the above
category.<br>
