I have recently - out of curiosity - installed MS-DOS 6.22 in dosbox using a clean svn build, a 120 MB hard disk image and the dos 6.22 floppy images.
It works great - although I have not yet encountered any real "compatibilty advantages" compared to using just dosbox's builtin "dos" and mounting directories.
One thing I have noticed is that as soon as the "boot -l c" command is executed, dosbox by default switches to "cycles=max". Why is that the case? Isn't Dos 6.22 a real-mode-operating-system unless you run protected mode apps/games? Now I know how to fix this using the config file, but I am still curious why dosbox would switch to max when booting into MS-DOS.
My system: Acer Spin 1 laptop, CPU Pentium N5000, 4 GB of RAM, OS: Windows 10 64 bit.
