Well, there's always freedos http://www.freedos.org/

No I don't really think emacs should worry too much about MSDOS support
all the same, but DOS-compatibles are still hanging about in embedded
computing, POS and various legacy business systems etc. (and of course
emulation).

Note that FreeDOS is an install option with Dell PCs, too.
(probably mostly so that they ship with _some_ minimal OS to thumb their
nose at Microsoft's "naked PC" campaign, but still)

FreeDOS and DRDOS must pretty much have the market between them now that
MS have abandoned MSDOS. :-)
