I'm rather bored, so I thought I might try and
hack together a small project
OS compatable with at least DOS 1.x or similar, is there any decent resource
for information on dos compatability and how to achieve it, or is it left as
a reverse engineering exercise for 'the reader' ? :)
There are already several DOS clones out there, some free, some not.
Why not go help out the folk working on FreeDOS or the DR-DOS
Enhancement Project instead?

DOS is still in use and useful, especially for people who cannot
afford modern hardware.
Failing that, other open-source projects that could do with help include:
FreeGEM
http://www.deltasoft.com
FreeVMS

AROS

Haiku

Syllable

... And many more!
