Anyone tried FreeDOS on these sort of "semi-PC-compatable" systems? If
you felt ambitious (and can program, which I can't), you could probably

patches back for others to custom-compile FreeDOS kernels for their own
systems.
Try MS-DOS
1.25. Or, if you want to be truly retro,
CP/M 86. :) This should work according to:

Whether or not THAT says that it will work, be aware that MS-DOS 1.25 is
an OEMed version, and each and every company that built a computer that
used it had a mutually incompatible version of it. SANYO MS-DOS 1.25
would certainly work. Morrow MS-DOS 1.25 won't, etc.
