Yes it is possible, because DOS need 680KB working space and you Psion have lotts more.
I'm still searching for the program.

I use XTM for this. It's a full PC emulator for the Psion. It allows you to install DOS 6.22 onto it.

Check it out here: http://www.nb-info.co.uk/xtminfo.htm

I find it really good but it does have its limitations, the website has all the information anyway.

Good luck.

XTM is not free. You can use it for 1 month. After that: delete the xtm.ini file (I don't use XTM anymore, but I think it's located here: C:\system\apps\XTM\) and you can use it for another month.
