Well, there is always DR-DOS (currently 7.03, but rumored to have a
newer version in the works), and FreeDOS (still in beta, see
http://www.freedos.org). There are a few other "alternate DOSes," too.

I tried DR-DOS, and it worked fine, but was not compatable with
DesqView, which I needed.  FreeDOS, last I tried it, would not install
properly, but that was over a year ago, and on an XT.  I have meant to
try PTS-DOS, but have not yet.  And I have never tried IBM's PC-DOS
(which is available only for a fee).

I have MS-DOS 6.22 running on a 386-40, and a P-120, and have DR-DOS
7.03 (or maybe 7.02) running on an XT.
