DOS is still used in a lot of industrial kit ...When all you want is
to load a single tasked application that talks to custom hardware...
Makes sense. I worked in that sector in the 90's. The only problem
with MsDOS was the small memory available. We had to use overlays in
the software, or load/download programs with a stub.
Well you could in theory kick the processor into 'large' mode and use a
lot more memory
