I did try to run it and it requests reboot or gives error 200 at... or locks up dosbox and have to press ctrl-f9, did try core=normal, cputype=486_slow.

Demonstration attached.

I see reboot requests because int 1 does not point to an IRET, like it does in real DOS. That's going to require a patch to DOSBox.
I'll play around with it, and see if I can get it working.

It also has trouble with cycles set too high (the runtime error 200 is the famous Pascal timer overflow bug). It runs nicely at 15000, though it refuses to run at 10000 cycles.
I'll put the int 1 patch on my site later today, so at least people can see the demo.

The patch on my site works for me. If it doesn't solve the problem for you, then let's talk about your configuration. :-)
