First up - the system I am looking to run DOSBox on and to which I have already downloaded the appropriate copy of 0.72:
Mac mini (Intel) with 2GB of DDR RAM; integrated video and sound; OS X 10.5.4...
I realize DOSBox is primarily intended for emulating old DOS games, but I keep seeing snippets here and there of the fact that it may have some capability to support serial port operation and that some people have been able to run some old DOS apps on it successfully. I already did RTFM but it didn't get deep enough into the serial port capabilities to satisfy my questions.
I have a few old DOS apps and I have been able to open at least one of them up in DOSBox just fine, but it and the others I'm looking to monkey around with will all be useless without serial support, so I just want to be sure that one, there is some serial support, and two, any known limitations. I would also be using a USB-serial converter.
As for which frontend app to use, it appears the only one that has the ability to access the serial options is Dapplegrey, so it looks like I'd be using that program.
Thanks in advance... 😀
