Solution USAFRet Aug 18, 2013 A better idea might be to run the DOS in a virtual machine, instead of directly on the laptop. I've not tried it, but looking through VirtualBox settings, it appears to support a DOS OS. That is of course if you can get whatever old hardware is involved to talk to a new laptop. Serial port or whatever.
