I found the following link to DOS 7.10 a few days ago.
<LINK REMOVED BY ADMIN>
I downloaded it and tested it on my EEE PC. Be forewarned that the install cd doesn't allow you to run fdisk on your drive of choice. IOW, it will install itself to the default boot drive set in BIOS. I bricked XANDROS on the EEE with try number one.
Fortunately for me, I don't save my data on the SSD. I downloaded the floppy images too, but haven't played with them yet. I hope the install program is more like DOS 6.22.
I had been using DOS 6.22, Win 3.11 Workgroups and all of my favorite DOS and Legacy Win apps on a bootable SDHC with the EEE with only a few problems, such as DOS 6.22 not recognizing other jump drives, etc. DOS 7.10 recognizes all jump drives that are connected at boot time. It also supports LFN.
So far the only down side is corrupting the 3.11 swap file more frequently than 6.22, however that seems to be a SDHC issue.
Booted from the EEE via SDHC, it is roughly 4 seconds to the DOS prompt. From the DOS prompt to Win 3.11 desktop is roughly 3 seconds.
