Have a look on the fs website. I think there is a really old version but
I might be wrong. Anyway I don't know anything about installing it.

Subject: freeDOS and jaws for dos
Has anyone ever tried to get jaws for DOS working under freeDOS. I
installed
freeDOS on a spare computer last night. I haven't tried to get any
speech
working. Instead I was using it via a PC Weasel video card. It occurs to
me
that freeDOS might be pretty slick if you could get speech working. It
has
internet support, email, instant messaging, all kinds of other stuff.
I didn't even try to get that other stuff working because I installed
freeDOS just as a means to install Windows Millenium. I have a video
capture
card and a scanner that work only under Win ME. Believe it or not, I
used to
setup my VCR by using an OCR program on images captured from the video
capture card. I'd press a button on the VCR, capture an image with the
video capture board, run an OCR program on it, press another button on
the
VCR, etc.
I also have a scanner that has no drivers for Win XP. I haven't been
able to
use the scanner or the video capture card since I upgraded to XP years
and
years ago.
PS: A PC Weasel video card is a card that looks to the system like a
regular
VGA card. But instead of VGA output, it has a serial port onboard. So
you
can connect a null modem cable to the serial port on the card and use a
terminal emulator on another computer to get video output. It works as
long
as the computer is in character mode like when it's running DOS or
freeDOS
(or linux).
