Hi, yes, you can run several DOSEMU instances with several DOS versions: To do that, you can either write a short shell script which shuffles the configuration files / diskimages / symlinks- to-virtual-drive-directories / whatever, or you can install a boot menu in DOSEMU. The latter can be quite convenient, but is probably limited to booting from FAT drives or diskimages (as opposed to redirector drives). You can also use xdosemu -A versus xdosemu -C to select a boot drive at start time, which gives you at least 2 DOS versions to select.
A nice solution would be a diskimage of a diskette, with a boot menu like MetaKern on it, which lets you boot FreeDOS, MS DOS and DR / OpenDOS at your choice. Those 3 DOS versions all have their own config sys alternate names which allows you to keep configs separate. The PC DOS can then be installed on virtual C:, and all files except config and kernels can be installed on virtual C: anyway. You should be able to get MetaKern to work with a little help from various SYS versions and OSCHECK to grab boot sectors, or just use dd for the latter. As you know so many DOS versions, I trust you to have enough DOS experience to figure it out :-)).
