Just pick yourself up an old free computer locally. I can confirm that I have
been able to get freeDOS up and running PERFECTLY on a Pentium 3. I am about to
permanently install it on a either a Pentium D or just a Pentium 4. :)

That is very cool and I saw the instructions so I'll give it a shot.
I was really hoping for a virtualizer that acts like a '90s PC and looks
like I found it.
Should be a lot of fun.

difference, but, from what I can see it's more of an emulator than a

I almost thought it was too much like DOSBox which is its own OS and I

Nothing against DOSBox, it has its place and is best in what it does.

For those times when VirtualBox doesn't cut it, I use AQEMU, a GUI-based
frontend for QEMU.
QEMU itself supports SO many options that using it from a command line can be a
little daunting; AQEMU's GUI approach makes creating/configuring VMs much more
straightforward IMO.

That's probably the ultimate solution for those of us not installing

some extra details: There was a VBE sound BIOS extension,

And there was a project to create a virtual soundblaster,

This is kind of a sore point when using Windows-based virtualization
apps.
Virtualbox (and I believe VMWare) support SoundBlaster 16, but only to a
certain extent (as in later versions of Windows).
They don't support DOS sound, period.
One of the things I noticed with DOS games is that I/O
