DOS can be run in DOSBox-X. Presented here is Super Ya-DOS.
DOSBox-X has a configuration file. It is usually called "dosbox-x.conf", but there can be variations - for example, "dosbox-x-2026.01.02.conf".
What to pay attention to in the configuration file when running DOS from the provided archive: the settings for "config.sys" and "autoexec.bat". Below is an example for running DOSBox-X under Microsoft Windows. For Linux and other systems, adjust the paths yourself.
