*Still have some old DOS programs you'd love to use? There may be hope:
DOSBox* emulates an Intel x86 PC, complete with sound
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Sound>, graphics
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Display>, mouse
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Input>, joystick
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Input>, modem
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Connectivity>, etc., necessary for running
many old MS-DOS games <https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/GAMES> that simply
cannot be run on modern PCs and operating systems, such as Microsoft
Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux and FreeBSD. However, it is not
restricted to running only games. In theory, any MS-DOS or PC-DOS
(referred to commonly as "DOS") application
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Software> should run in DOSBox, but the
emphasis has been on getting DOS games
<https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/GAMES> to run smoothly, which means that
communication, networking and printer support are still in early
development.
