I don't think the issue is the port, but rather is the speed of the underlying machine This is a problem that has bitten various old PC games. They made assumptions about the hardware that were true when they wrote the game but aren't true now, and the new hardware is much faster. The game fails to run because the underlying system is too fast. You may want to look at TameDOS, which was written to solve problems like this by slowing the host machine. It installs and runs as a TSR.
