Romimage: file=BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000įloppya: 1_44=f:\cd1\freedos\fdb8_144.dsk, status=insertedįloppyb: 1_44=f:cific.imz status=inserted It's configured either using the text mode menu or by editing the file bochsrc.txt. Once you have the image you need to configure bochs to boot from a floppy. Bochs have a site with some OS's images (obviously msdos is not there but freedos is, which I've started using since MSDOS became harder to find through the usual channels ). It will create a zipped image which you'll have to unzip in order to make it useable. With this basically you create the image, select a set of files ( system files and utilities in MSDOS case) and insert them. You need an utility for creating disk images like this one ). In this case there is probably no substitute for real DOS (or Windows 98) in a dual boot set-up. Any sort of emulation by a multi-tasking host OS is going to introduce timing irregularities.

If you get this to work, you may still have a problem if your serial protocol is very sensitive to timing. One of their screen shots shows DOS running inside Bochs which is in turn running on Windows 2000, which is The main development work for Bochs is for using Linux as the host OS, but there are Windows and Mac versions as well. That is, the emulated port can be associated with the actual serial port in your PC. It is an IA86 emulator and includes emulation of the serial port, which can be a real serial port. I haven't experimented with it yet, so I can't make a recommendation. If you are feeling adventurous, you could try Bochs.
