DOSbox serial has always been an issue with all my systems
back through Mint Mate 18.1
it is erratic at best, sometimes working, most times not
I use several programs that require serial interface through DOS:
HP48 PDL & HP version of Columbia University Kermit Transfer
Windows XP requiring serial works flawlessly in the virtual machine
only DOSbox has issues
then there is the MIDI issue...
which makes old DOS worthless
I even set the irq & port
serial1=directserial realport:ttyUSB0 irq:4 port:0x3f8
#serial2=directserial realport:ttyUSB1 irq:3 port:0x2f8
crw-rw----+ 1 root dialout 188, 0 2022-05-11 21:18 /dev/ttyUSB0
chmod to all read write
crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root dialout 188, 0 2022-05-11 21:18 /dev/ttyUSB0
serial status using various utilities:
Bus 001 Device 108: ID 2478:2008 Tripp-Lite U209-000-R Serial Port
/dev/ttyUSB0, UART: 16654, Port: 0x0000, IRQ: 0
