Asking the question a different way. 

Is there another virtual app (alternatives to Virtualbox or VMWare) that
does a much better job supporting DOS hardware which I can install
FreeDOS onto? 

That's probably the ultimate solution for those of us not installing
FreeDOS on actual hardware, which is a constantly growing base and if
not the majority yet, will be soon. 

The solutions like DOSBox and 86Box are self-contained virtual
hardware/OS solutions but was hoping for an improvement over Virtualbox
or VMWare I can install FreeDOS onto.
