How are physical I/O ports assigned?  Step-by-step instructions would be 
much appreciated since I'm a Linux newbie!  Thank-you very much for 
helping me through this learning curve.

I did use the DOSEMU OS option in zip picker, entered DOSEMU, used 
unzip32.exe, and figured out how to modify

this doesn't hurt.)
