I have used FreeDOS on my Mac Pro 2008 (MacPro3,1) but I haven't tried any games or graphical stuff. If MS-DOS or FreeDOS can be booted (with external USB support) on an Intel Mac, natively, it'd be great to work, distraction free like this one, too:
As a bonus is there a way for FreeDOS, MS-DOS to run a GUI internet browser (just the browser is good) for a minimalist OS that can still browse the Internet 2.0 (or are we already on Internet 3.0 with all these deep learning and machine learning going around)? It's to know the capabilities of the Intel Macs (having tested FreeDOS on VirtualBox, macOS version and emulations like DOSBox) and to play some DOS apps (including DOS games) in its native, not emulated, non-virtualized form. Use menu option 3, 6 (No CD-ROM) or 9 (No CD-ROM, no Mouse).Is there any way to make FreeDOS, MS-DOS 6.22, 7.1 or MS-DOS 8 (if a real DOS mode, standalone of version 8 exists) boot on the Mac, specifically an iMac, be it off an internal Mac drive, external one, CD/DVD or via network (external drive like a USB-A flashdrive is way preferred) that'll have support for external USB drives (like a flashdrive or a hardisk in a USB-A enclosure)?
Ultima VII is a game that uses its own memory manager and won't run with either Expanded or Extended memory. Use menu option 2, 5 (No CD-ROM) or 8 (No CD-ROM, no Mouse). Turrican II is a game that won't run with EMS memory or Conventional memory only. Wing Commander and Wing Commander 2 enable extra sound and graphics effects with Expanded memory. Use menu option 1, 4 (No CD-ROM) or 7 (No CD-ROM, no Mouse). Most games will work with menu options 1, 2 or 3 and you will have working CD-ROM and mouse. DO NOT install this starter pack in Windows 95 or 98 MS-DOS mode.
This starter pack has been tested with MS-DOS 6.22 and 7.1. My Starter Pack consists of a Mouse and CD-ROM driver which I have tested with a very wide range of games as well as a Startup Menu. I have tested many games over the years and this start-up menu will cover all situations.
Old MS-DOS games require various memory configurations.
