it's a DOS clone, you can't start anything beyond Windows 3.11 with it. and no, it won't run as it only supports x86 CPUs. even if it would run on ARM, you can't use any DOS programs because all of them are for x86 CPUs, too.
the only way to get a DOS system to run is to use an emulator.

DOS is an operating system, and is not windows compatible at all.
There are emulator projects like DOSbox which actually emulates a x86 architecture, as of now, dosbox takes 80% of one of the cores on my 3 ghz core2.. But you might be able to do stuff like commander keen and lemmings in it though
(I don't know if dosbox is ported to pandora but it seems trivial, taking into account the other platforms that it is ported to)
