Add to that the fact that attempting to emulate x86 is a severe form of masochism. paul ___ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh

Simh will probably never emulate a more modern system. At least not the main
distro. That's not simh's purpose to my knowledge. MSDOS just isn't old enough

Yeah I've heard of RDOS and X DOS. I have virtual PC 2007 and
dosbox does work. I still like SIMh the best.

None of the SIMH emulators emulate a machine MS/DOS would run on. There are
other operating systems called DOS (disk operating system) that have nothing to
do with MS/DOS. Many of the SIMH emulators will run one of these DOS operating
systems.
DOS may run on a VM using vmware, under emulation by, BOCHS, dosbox, boxer
etc.

Emulating a 5-slot PC or 8-slot PC/XT so that you can run actual MS/DOS
would be closer to the SIMH way.
