   This is a very complicated new system. That is not my goal.   
   My goal is a simple starter system. z/PDOS-generic is an   
   example of a simple starter system.

   Note that I have 32-bit MSDOS which is accomplished by   
   switching from PM32 to RM16 in order to make BIOS calls.   
   This works on an AMD64-like processor if someone has   
   made a BIOS availlable. I actually bought a Lenovo Kaitian   
   with a Zhaoxin processor in order to get this. The BIOS is   
   literally in Chinese and I needed help from a friend in order   
   to know how to switch between UEFI and legacy BIOS.   
      
   Also note that I have a thin wrapper on top of UEFI that switches   
   a UEFI system into a mini Windows 64-bit clone. That is also   
   MSDOS-like.   
      
   And at this level you need to define wihat "MSDOS" actually means.
