DOS is a true RTOS OS for the modern computers, because it not multitasking. Just block all the unnecessary interrupts, and you'll get the best response rate possible on the particaulr machine.
- tartoran 6y agoDos was my first command line environment on a 8086 with 640kb of ram and a whooping 20Mb harddrive. I had on that hd so many games and software including win 3.1, it embarrasses me to think how much bloat there is in a modern OS. I wouldn't use DOS now, I'd rather go with a barebones linux distribution.
- agumonkey 6y agoEven a slim mainstream linux distro would blush seeing your old 20mb setup.
