From: "Jamie Ferrier" 

Datalight's ROM-DOS is still available and supported.   It offers Fat32,
LFN, and Emm386, though it does not have a memory "tweaker" like
memmaker.   A DOS internet connectivity suite is also available.
ROM-DOS is a true DOS and does not offer multi-tasking.   DOS extended
applications can be run on top of ROM-DOS to break the 640K memory
limitation.   You can get more information at www.datalight.com.
