I've FreeDOS installed on my retro laptops (Toshiba Libretto and Toshiba Satellite, both from 1998) and it works great for my nostalgic needs, although some games like to crash but they would probably crash on a "classic" DOS anyway and it's a matter of fiddling with memory management. One cool thing is that I've configured USB support and because FreeDOS supports FAT32 I can easily transfer files from my regular laptop using an USB flash drive.

I am super stoked to try the 8086 version. I have a DX4-100, an AMDK6-2, and an old XT. Love all three, but the XT gets the least use due to having to run MSDOS3 and therefore being somewhat annoying (like going from GNU to BusyBox and having restrictions on what flags are usable, same annoyance level). The XT did just get an 8bit NIC tho, so time to have some fun with FreeDOS 1.3 8086!
