  1. For PS/1 you'll need the 16-bit version from https://github.com/luke8086/gentleos . A floppy image is provided in releases. Note you only need to copy the first 64KB, the rest is just padding for emulators.

  2. Nice! The project also has a 16-bit variant https://github.com/luke8086/gentleos , not clear if it works on 8086 IBM PC, but I'll give it a go. Been looking for a reason to power up my IBM PC again.
