ROM-DOS Benefits

Embedded Design Features - ROM-DOS was specifically designed for use in embedded systems, and its features make it uniquely suited to embedded devices. These features include a custom ROM-DOS Kernel BUILD Utility.
Foundational OS - ROM-DOS provides the closest, most direct access to x86 hardware. No other operating system can be integrated this closely with underlying hardware. This unique ability allows ROM-DOS to serve as a foundational operating system, running either underneath or alongside another operating system. Used in this manner, ROM-DOS stabilizes the underlying device operation, creating a consistent environment in which the companion OS can run to its full potential.
Connectivity Tools - ROM-DOS incorporates a suite of tools, including a compact TCP/IP stack that is designed to advance the embedded device market from stand-alone to Internet-enabled. ROM-DOS supports applications that provide embedded systems with the ability to send and receive e-mail, securely transfer files via FTP, run a private remote console or be viewed from a local web browser.
