16 bit os for flashing a firmware
Yes, you can use a 16-bit operating system like Windows to run a .bat script and flash LSI firmware. It may require some setup or compatibility adjustments.
FreeDOS might suit your needs, but if not, consider using Wine set up for Windows 3.1x on any Linux distro—though it's a bit ironic that Wine can handle older Windows programs better than modern ones. Note: The previous version doesn't support 32-bit Windows, but newer setups do. Another idea is to run Windows 3 in DosBOX or FreeDOS, which could support 16-bit applications.
Freedos, it's true, just like many other things, MS DOS still exists with countless copies available online.
