ctrl-f9 is the default key combination to quit DOSBox (mapped to "shutdown"), are you sure that's not what you're looking for?

Given that a serial link is meant to be one-to-one, you'll probably need to setup a PPP/SLIP server on your network and "dial" into it.

Ubuntu is basically just Debian with faster updates. Pick a LTS release if you don't want to upgrade regularly.

Oh, and Dosbox in Stretch repositories is still version 0.74. Version 0.74-2 is not available in stretch-backports either. PFFT. I thought this was the case and was wondering why OP was not experiencing segfaults using the distro package (since the old x64 dynarec doesn't align the stack correctly …

Roughly 200-300% faster? Depends on the game... It still interprets/recompiles every instruction but takes advantage of the fact that the new code will implicitly produce the same flag results as the original code. So unlike the generic dynamic core there's no need to manually calculate the flags …

The obvious thing to test would be to use the standard low DMA channel (1) instead of 0.

If you connected the unit to the "drive b" connector (the one on the opposite side of the twisted section) wouldn't that effectively swap them?

Another broken release, has the same problem with DEP that Diablo did (before they patched it based on some hex-editing advice that someone posted on their forum). It's crazy that their official "fix" for this problem is just to disable DEP - this is a multiplayer game with very poor data validation …

The worst thing is that sometimes they break stuff (like using broken tools to combine resources from multi-disk sierra games into single files) and then when it gets reported to them, they say they're unable to modify the files due to copyright/licensing restrictions. WTF?
