The FreeDOS project began on 26 June 1994
FreeDOS’s own historical materials date the project’s start to June 29, 1994, not June 26, 1994.
Full reasoning
Official FreeDOS sources consistently place the start of the project on June 29, 1994. An interview with FreeDOS founder Jim Hall says, "On June 29, 1994, I announced the 'PD-DOS' project to write our own DOS." The FreeDOS project’s 30th-anniversary announcement likewise states that "The FreeDOS Project officially started on June 29, 1994." Because the article gives 26 June 1994, its date for the beginning of the FreeDOS project is incorrect.

The FreeDOS Project officially started on June 29, 1994.
As of 2026, available compatible systems are FreeDOS, ROM-DOS, PTS-DOS, RxDOS and REAL/32.
This 2026 list is incomplete: DR DOS is also available in 2026, with an official current release from August 8, 2026.
Full reasoning
The sentence presents an as-of-2026 list of "available compatible systems," but it omits DR DOS, which is plainly available in 2026 from its official website. The official DR DOS site describes DR DOS as an "MS-DOS-compatible operating system for x86 PCs" and lists a latest release: DR DOS 9.0 Revision 1049, released August 8, 2026. Its download page likewise offers DR DOS 9.0 Revision 1049 for download.
Because DR DOS is available in 2026, the article’s list is incomplete and therefore inaccurate as written.
