Hi Hans,

  This is probably the best bet for me - I was thinking of something that
could run FreeDOS on a PC/XT type platform.  No chipsets; no fancy CPUs...

  A BIOS written in Forth?  I dunno - I don't want to start any flame wars,
but I'm just not comfortable with that :-)

> Now, a complete different aproach here is LinuxBIOS

  Which, I assume, is unable to run FreeDOS or, indeed, anything except
Linux ...

Thanks,
Bob
