    i am curious if anyone uses this os on their old systems


    I just installed it on my HP t510.

    I have a ways to go to get networking up. Lots to learn there.

    I hope it can actually get online and make a connection to the internet.

    I've recently built an mgetty system with a modem through an ATA, but I don't have to use the modem to get my FreeDOS system online.

    Hi Ben,

    Do your systems have network cards?

    Did you attempt to get tcp/ip working with them with FreeDOS?

    I have it on my old iMac2011. It worked fine but I haven't used it on daily basis for a long time.. like 5 years or so.. But when I did, I liked to call it HackinDOS ;)
