So apparently this isn't "just" a FreeDOS distro? That's interesting; I sorta didn't realize there were multiple living DOS implementations.

> SvarDOS uses a fork of the Enhanced DR-DOS kernel, whose development is kept on the EDR github repository.

btw, if you want to keep up with the freedos community (unfortunately) the facebook group is the best place to do it https://www.facebook.com/groups/freedosproject/

Is this link really http? Safari on latest iOS refuses to open it.

(All modern browsers will do the same although on desktop you could bypass security restrictions.)

On the upside not being able to open the link led me to find out 86box emulator.
