MS-DOS officially ended with the launch of version 6.22 all the way back in 1994, but the FreeDOS project has kept the old-school OS alive and well over the years with full MS-DOS compatibility. And for the first time in six years, FreeDOS has received a major update, bringing it from version 1.2 to 1.3.
The update adds the new Kernel 2043 and an 8086 version with FAT32 support. It also features support for the new FreeCOM 0.85a.
