Oh, I don't know about that.  Recent Altos machines using the 386 processor
will run Mis-Dos [ ;-) ] as a subtask, but Altos has no interest in selling
DOS systems.  (I wish they had no interest in selling their 286 systems....)

(opinion follows)
Why the heck do you want to run Mis-Dos anyway?  If you want a singleuser
environment, get *real* Amigas or Macs -- subtasks under a multitasking OS
won't give you much unless the hardware's nice and fast, in which case it's
even faster to run native programs.  And MS-DOS is by far the *ugliest*
of the singleuser operating systems available (now that TRSDOS is dead,
at least...  ;-)  [don't flame me, TRSDOS 6.x is really LDOS, which is better
than Mis-Dos any day!]
