So you intend to install FreeDOS to a different, probably newer, type of
machine and then transfer the metal analyzer software?
How is the PC attached to the analyzer? A normal serial port? A special
I/O card?

All I can say is: "Probably. You have to try."
It depends on how clean the metal analyzer software was coded. If the
programmers used some "dirty tricks", that only work on this particular
DOS or PS2 machine, then it will probably very hard or even impossible.
Cheers,
Robert
