In reply to newbie. Glad it could help you in what ever way that would be... although I cannot imagine it being much of a helping thing.. DOSBox may be more of what you are seeking.

You may find that DOSBox better suits your needs.. Its cool in that you can edit the source in any 'modern' editor, and compile away with Turbo Pascal from back in the day…..

Virtual PC can do it too, but yeah, it's a little "top" heavy having to load MS-DOS and all that jazz (setting up the network redir etc etc)..

There also is that Japanese program: http://homepage3.nifty.com/takeda-toshiya/msdos/index.html

this may be more along the lines of what you want… 🙂

That is what I have looked for ! Something that can emulate DOS under 64-bit Windows only for a application runtime. Not everybody needs the whole OS emulation, for example running Turbo Pascal – I need only an old application working. This is not pointless !

Actually it does a lot *LESS* then dosbox/qemu.. Although it'd run over the horrific NT telnet/serial lines of the old days...

This would have been cool around NT 3.1 days, but really pointless today...

But it's *VERY* small, compared to something like Qemu/DosBOX.

Can it do something dosemu,dosbox or qemu don't ?

ST506 5MB, huh? My very first hard drive was ST506 10MB. It had Soviet connectors, which were physically different from the original one (similar to IDE connectors), but electrically nearly the same. I just needed one invertor to get it going with the IBM controller.
