Hi,

Sorry for slow reply, been very busy lately!

Though I also admit I've only downloaded sources, not tried
rebuilding it yet either!

(...keep reading below...)

DOSBox is fairly weak, thus not recommended outside of gaming.
DOSEMU? Not (prerelease) DOSEMU2?

Probably the best bet, but I still have native FreeDOS which is where
I used to test this. Though I know I told you about DOSEMU also, which
didn't have the DPMI problems.

Yeah, it's been a few years, and I halfway forget the details (but
still have various test files on my hard disk about it, circa 2013).

FreeDOS 1.2 under VirtualBox is probably best, easiest way these days.
Intel plans to kill native BIOS (and CSM) by 2020, so even bootable
USB (while incredibly convenient) isn't necessarily viable for new
machines.
