Yeah I've heard of RDOS and X <something>DOS. I have virtual PC 2007 and dosbox 
does work. I still like SIMh the best.

  None of the SIMH emulators emulate a machine MS/DOS would run on. There are 
other operating systems called DOS (disk operating system) that have nothing to 
do with MS/DOS. Many of the SIMH emulators will run one of these DOS operating 
systems.

  DOS may run on a VM using vmware, under emulation by, BOCHS, dosbox, boxer 
etc.

    The thing is I don't know the emulators well enough to know which one(s) do 
or don't do that. I've only used say three of them and never Altair. Vax, 
PDP-11 and PDP-8.

      Emulating a 5-slot PC or 8-slot PC/XT so that you can run actual MS/DOS 
would be closer to the SIMH way.

            I personally think simh is one of the highest quality simulator 
systems you can get. Do any of the emulators like altair or so emulate MS DOS 
of any version? Or can they? If not might it in the future?
