Former employee had a Inventory system based on dos6 but the hardware (the pc and the barcode scanner) was getting really old. So i buy a new PC, installed FreeDOS and a new barcode scanner with Dos compatibility and it works perfect. DOS especially FreeDOS is just great.

Is there a DOS working on an UEFI computer? If not there must be a very limited choice of hardware.

UEFI systems generally can boot in compatibility BIOS mode. Macs can't, but they are the only exception I know.

Most modern computers have legacy BIOS support.
