Welcome back! :D
My setup is a Linux desktop machine under which I edit code with Sublime Text
and compile with the Linux versions of NASM and/or Watcom C, for whichever the
current project calls.
I test frequently while implementing a new feature or what-have-you, and for
that I use DOSBox. My more periodic, more "release" based testing is done in a
pair of virtual machines - one in VirtualBox and the other in AQEMU, though you
can read that as plain QEMU, as it's simply a GUI front end to ease configuring
the emulator's numerous options.
Happy coding! :)
