Have you been lucky to sit in front of a blank PC screen with just a command prompt blinking on it ten years ago? Have you experienced the joy of making your desktop computer obey with just a couple of simple console commands? Now you can enjoy the same fun of MS-DOS environment right on your Palm OS device.
A Palm OS enthusiast has developed the first real MS-DOS emulator for the mobile platform. The OS session works over CaSTaway, an Atari ST emulator, and uses an image of a bootable MS-DOS 5.00 disk and quite a number of other bells and whistles.
At the moment the project is just in the infantry stage and the emulator doesn’t allow the user to run any third-party MS-DOS software. However, the developer is positive about his aims and, who knows, maybe in some time you will be able to run your favorite old PC games right on your Palm.
