It's funny seeing people getting excited about this. Even it had an open license (which it hasn't), it's an ancient version from the times PCs were much simpler machines and MS-DOS was still pretty much CP/M like. It would be pretty much useless for any modern DOS clone. Good place to research the history of MS-DOS "possibilities" is Ralph Brown's Interrupt List. You can see how many functions have been added since DOS 2.x.

TL;DR: This is only interesting to computer history buffs.
