Very cool!

It (almost) runs on copy.sh V86 emulator: https://copy.sh/v86/

I see the boot process with dots (like linux) and after I have the following message with a red background (if that can help):

    ExDOS64 version 0.01 built 26.03.2016
    =====================================
    Boot error: CPU is not 64-bit capable...
The last lines of the Javascript console:

   [CPU ] mode=real/16 paging=0 vm=0 iopl=0 cpl=0 if=1 cs:eip=0xF000:0x0000FFF0 cs_off=0x000F0000 flgs=0x202 ss:esp=0x0000:0x00000F32 log.js:13:9
   [CPU ] far return eip=0x0000CB01 cs=0xF000 stack_adjust=0x0

It clearly says "Boot error: CPU is not 64-bit capable..." which means your CPU is not 64-bit. The V86 emulator doesn't support 64-bit mode and so can't run ExDOS.

Looks like v86 doesn't support 64bit stuff, and ExDOS doesn't support not being 64bit.
