This is pretty cool.

MS-DOS 2.0 on the Apple IIe (March 2026)

An Apple II enthusiast ported MS-DOS 2.0 to an Apple IIe running an ALF AD8088 Plus 8088 card (a much simpler device than the PC Transporter) designed for CP/M-86.

It boot, supports 80-columns, reads the clock, reads disk data from a shared ProDOS file on the IIe's hard disk.

Stated plans from the author, Seth Kushniryk, include Super Serial and Uthernet II support as well as running CP/M-80 on MS-DOS on ProDOS with a V20 swapped in for the 8088.

About AMX, the undocumented matrix math coprocessor that was discovered (by clever, deep analysis and reverse engineering) inside the Apple M1 SoC and is quietly accessed by programs utilizing Apple's "Accelerate" framework.

Another fascinating detail about Apple's CPU designs and their impressive performance.
