Just an Idea... translate MS-DOS to excel-asm16

Asm source publicly available.
Need to translate MS-DOS from asm to excel-asm16.

This "translator" would in theory allow any 16bit asm application to run.

excel-asm16 would need at minimum a stack to facilitate CALL, RET, PUSH, and POP operations. based on @InkboxSoftware's youtube video, I don't think a stack would be too much, it could start at $EFFF and would require an index register.

once you get around that though, then you have interrupts to deal with, and the fact that this runs at 3Hz...

Running MS-DOS directly on the InkboxSoftware/excelCPU is not straightforward. The project is designed to run custom programs written in Excel-ASM16, a custom assembly language for Excel. Translating MS-DOS from its assembly language to Excel-ASM16 would be a complex task. It would require implementing features like a stack for handling function calls and dealing with interrupts, which are not natively supported in the Excel CPU setup.
