Long file names? 
  I needed to be able to run quick basic to support a now 13 year old project. I'm running 64 bit windows-7 and Linux Mint dual boot.

Running (Free)DOS from ROM 
  Hallo allemaal, I'm hobbying more then a bit with some old IBM PC-XT (compatibles). And I found an old REX EPROM card capable of handling up to sixteen 27512s, good for 1 MByte of data.
