    You're saying good old MS-DOS (and the similar things like DR-DOS, FreeDOS etc)? MS-DOS supports anything because it does almost anything (MS-DOS is not a true operating system at all...). If you simply don't load any driver like EMM386 you can do anything that you want, including starting to program in protected-mode. It's the thing that the DOS Extenders (like Phar-Lap) do everyday.
