Hi!
You can configure Wine to simulate any Windows version from Windows 2.0 to Windows 10, including the popular versions Windows 98 and Windows XP, so I would not be too worried about your apps being too old for Wine. > http://www.goodbyemicrosoft.net/news.php?item.828.8 > http://www.dosemu.org/docs/README/1.4/ > > https://packages.debian.org/buster/dosbox > https://www.dosbox.com/DOSBoxManual.html I would recommend to also check DOSEMU2: https://github.com/dosemu2/dosemu2/ Note the readme at the bottom with links to daily Ubuntu and Fedora Linux package builds. Also, with FreeDOS being freely available, it is easy to run DOS and DOS apps on modern hardware. Windows is the bigger problem if you neither want to buy nor steal Windows. Of course most DOS games will have the problem that your modern PC has no ISA SoundBlaster 16. It might help to run DOS inside DOS using some Linux magic or HX RT or similar, for example with DOSBOX-X: https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/Home https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/DOSBox%E2%80%90X%E2%80%99s-Feature-Highlights DOSBOX-X allows you to simulate some sound cards. Of course you can also use it in normal Linux or Windows, just like the normal DOSBOX versions. If you have a few GHz of ARM speed, try DOSBIAN: https://cmaiolino.wordpress.com/dosbian/ Regards, Eric > BTW - some further reading in Czech about DOS and Windows98 survival > in modern times: > http://rayer.g6.cz/os/os.htm > http://windows98.xf.cz/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
