Could it be dosbox's listening to serial and not usb?
Could you try:
git clone https://github.com/bkw777/dlplus.git
cd dlplus
make && sudo install
dl -h
dl -v -b=TEENY.200
It uses /dev/ttyUSB0 by default, and that will only be correct if there
is only one usb-serial plugged in, and you haven't removed and
re-plugged it within a few minutes. Otherwise, ls /dev/USB* and see what
your device name actually is currently if not ttyUSB0, and see the help
from "dl -h" to override that and other defaults.
Also, be sure you have the right serial cable wiring:
http://tandy.wiki/Model_100_102_200_600_Serial_Cable
Those are actually tested and mapped out wiring, those 3 specific models
in the "ideal cables" section are special, not like 99% of other cables
that look the same on the outside.
If you have an ordinary 9-25 modem cable (much more common, because they
used to come with every modem), then you need to add a null-modem
adapter. There's links for that too on there buried in the Summary section.
If you have the C2G 03019, or one of the other 2 ideal ones, then you
only need the cable and you connect it directly to the usb-serial, no
other null-modem or gender-chager adapters. And the Sabrent link on the
bottom is an ideal usb-serial adapter, because it has an ftdi chip, and
has nuts that the serial cable can screw in to.
