Have you looked at the kernel source yet ?
Do you already have an usb ad-converter? Or looked into making one?
I think you are going to get a lot of problems using a dos program for
this, you would need some driver, a linux userspace program to pipe the
data to the dosemu and then use it in your dos program. I think you are
better of porting the program to run on linux native.
