Please enjoy, I think this might be one of my greatest hacks of all time

@hailey can you elaborate more how it works? I see some 16bit code there and windows driver code. Does it mean I need regular windows that is extended by linux somehow or what is the concept here?

How much blood, sweat and tears were shed to get that working? If Ncommander is anything to go by, getting legacy systems like those to work properly can be incredibly cursed.
