Thank You for your continued support and contributions!
Another disadvantage would be that with command line OS's you need to type everything, which could be done with the "virtual keyboard" in rockbox, but take more time than normal.
I am sure it would be possible for this to happen, but someone who wants this would have to put the time into porting a DOS OS, like FreeDOS, as it is under the GNU GPL (same as rockbox I believe. And FreeDOS is also all open source and written in C, so that helps a little as well.Even with that being said there would be tons of work like coding and debugging that would need to be done. For example, FreeDOS is for standard computers and mostly likely takes advantages of things like malloc() (which rockbox has minimal support for). Another disadvantage would be that with command line OS's you need to type everything, which could be done with the "virtual keyboard" in rockbox, but take more time than normal.AFAIK FreeDOS doesnt require alot of system resources (like memory or processing power), so it wouldnt run incredibly slow, so it might be usable. But still someone has to be interested in this enough to want it done, believe it or not rockbox just doesn't have code monkeys laying around ready to be used to implement new features that users want.
CPU power is going to be a big problem though.
erm dosbox is written in C++, and im pretty sure rockbox is in C soo..... that just won't work, you would have to rewrite the code and i can't do it because i have no clue how to script in C
