 Hmm....(Scratching chin) Am I the only one on this thread thinking about 
getting a dirt cheap t5740 to try to run a FreeDos thin client?  Does FreeDos 
run on Atom?

I agree with Eric. Something like an HP t5740, Dell Optiplex 9010 or 9020 or 
790, is about $25 on eBay, runs DOS well, will run DOS well off a cheap 4-16GB 
USB drive, and will also come with 9-pin serial.  The Dells might even be free 
on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

Depending on your planned expenses, you could also get a new or used
DOS-compatible computer with a physical RS232 port, which avoids all
USB issues. Most computers which still have a BIOS should work, while
computers which only support UEFI and no longer have a legacy BIOS
boot options are not suitable for running DOS directly on hardware.
