As you don't a medium to load/save data to (it can only use IBM's tape interface), there's not much use for users to program in Cassette BASIC in those machines. With my guess, I think it's just a leftover from the IBM engineers that forgot to remove the BASIC in ROM thing and just left in there …

If you're talking about emulating old graphics standards like Plantronics or something like SuperEGA, your only viable options is to look at x86 emulators that do full emulation like 86box, pcem and others. But if you're talking about something like vbe then something like dosbox might suffice, but …

The Metric and Imperial systems never really line up correctly. It would make more sense to color code label nuts and bolts and products so people don’t confuse the sizes. A simple color code label would help to organize items so people will know that these item will work together. Maybe even a bar …

On paper cd-rom emulation in dosbox doesn't have a specific device emulated, but you can enable lowlevel cd-rom emulation to a few modes like ioctl or aspi to have true cd-rom emulated in dosbox, which perhaps you can have drivers like oakcdrom in use or use the drive in windows.

I'd like to have some feature requests to the developer [rcblanke]: 1. Adding an option to don't execute any file at start, or allow the dos/booter section to be blank, so that we can run the dos without running a program (or running a stub bat) and have the folders mounted.

What I don't get is, where are these options stored for each different DosBox version or how are they derived... Why when I select vanilla DosBox 0.74-3 for a game profile for instance does it know direct3d (and a bunch of experimental options) aren't supported, yet when I select Dosbox Daum, …

Here's a suggestion to the developers of 86Box. As of now, you can mix and match machine types and display types. For example, you can emulate a modern PC with an old ISA-bus MDA (monochrome display adapter), an impossible combination based on separate settings in the Machine and Display settings …
