iDOS

[biometrics]

Did you manage to get iDOS when it was briefly in the app store?

I've got all my 80's and early 90's apps running.

If you want a copy, PM me (it was free).

Even got Windows 3.11 running.

Edit: No need to PM, Rapidshare link below.

Not sure how to install a .ipa, but Google should sort that out. Probably need to jailbreak, but maybe not as iDOS + iPhone Explorer works without jailbreaking.

For anyone else that's into running unexpected OS's on your iPhone, I've got Android running on my iPhone 3G: http://www.redmondpie.com/install-a...using-bootlace-in-cydia-no-computer-required/

Apart from being the coolest chili pepper in the basket, whats the point of running DOS on an iPhone?

Interesting question actually ... at first it was purely for nostalgia (been coding pro for 20+ years), but now I'm starting to think that having DOS as a runtime library could be very useful ...

you can play duke nukem 3d on your iphone.

Need to jailbreak to install .ipa files. Sigh.

Yeah, sorry. Got it from the app store before it was removed, so it's all easy for me. If there are any files you need, let me know.

Ah, I see. I knew there had to be a constructive, productive reason
