Well, you can generally run MS/PCDOS on new machines.
There's also
FreeDOS (which is a free clone), and things like BOCHS and dosemu for
running DOS under some of the more useful modern multitasking OSes.
And, last I checked IBM still sells PC-DOS if you need something
supported.
I run MS-DOS 6.22 on a Pentium-133 Compaq and occasionally on a
1200MHz Athlon, depending on whether I'm reading/writing floppy or tape.
Since I own several "legitimate" copies of v6.22, and it supports all
the programs I need very well, I haven't really looked at the free
alternatives.
