What is everyone running their FreeDOS on?

Ok, right now I am running FreeDOS under DosBox on my production laptop, but it might be nice to have a small machine, preferably a desktop, that will still boot in Legacy Mode.

Is there a machine I can buy new that I might be able to outfit with a 5.25 and 3.5 floppy drive? That can boot Legacy Mode? Extra points if it can also boot Legacy mode from a USB stick or Ventoy external drive!

Btw cost is an important consideration.

A dropbox link to SHELL - This is a command line shell that provides the following:

  • point and activate all kinds of files
  • Issue any command that you could type on the command line by just typing the command
  • Select many files for operations such as copy, move, delete, print, anything you could do with one file from the command line.
