Is it possible to instal Pure64 on real HW, I mean existing FAT16 partition?
I found there's source of bootsector but missing the instalation utility like sys.com which properly install bootsector code to existing partition. But I would rather if it can coexist with existing installed OSes which use NTLDR. I tried to add it in BOOT.INI but it ended up with blinking cursor. The same when I replaced ntldr by pure64.sys. Pure64 bootsector works some way different so it cannot be loaded by standard bootsector from DOS/Windows.

And what C compiler should I use for compiling C example payload for pure64?

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
