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

FreeVMS

AROS

Haiku

Syllable

... And many more!
