Is there any effort underway to produce a ROM version of MS-DOS or
clone that is:
	1. inexpensive
	2. easy to upgrade (by changing a board, for example)
	3. standardized in interface (i.e., DOS interrupt calls)
	4. bootable (obviously), but DIP switch selectable from a disk
	5. preferably not patented
?

If this has been dismissed in earlier discussion, my apologies and
please e-mail me a summary.
