It is meant to run on real hardware, but when
I tried burning an image onto USB stick, it
didn't work (rebooted), so it needs to be
debugged. It works fine under Bochs.

Nothing. You need to recompile. But it will
run some Windows console mode executables.
PDOS/86 will run some MSDOS real mode
executables though, like micro-emacs.

Yes, and this is public domian too, very rare.

I took a look, but that is closed source.
Note that PDOS/386 and PDOS/86 don't support
device drivers currently.
