I am mostly a bare metal person, so I do not spend a lot of time thinking about operating systems or interpreted languages on these platforms. I mostly just write in assembly language since that is my favorite. I have had some people tell me that they have ported tiny basic or a couple of operating systems like CP/M over to the platform. Nothing as recent as DOS. Any OS would be older than that. The most interesting is someone that brought K2FDOS and TEA editor/assembler over since they had used it on a bubble memory device back in the '80s and they wanted to port it over. I do have one system with the bubble memory running the K2FDOS but other than that it is all bare metal and resident monitors. Sorry I can't be more help, you may want to ask around on some of the vintage computer forums.

I know nothing about the 8085, but do know how to put together projects (the last being an 8088 single board computer and associated backplane).
