How about using Dosemu2? When you add their PPA, you get
frequent updates. Unfortunately focused on 64-bit distros,
but performance is quite okay and it can map any Linux
directory to a DOS drive letter, so size is "unlimited".

Hi Jim
Thanks again. My problem is that I have assembler source code from 40 years that occupies about 680Mb that needs to reside on one drive in order to assemble. Then there are the application programs. All this currently resides on an ancient XP machine.  I have stayed with Lubuntu 18.04 as the later versions use SNAP and no longer support old hardware.

Newer versions are very slow. I have removed snap and tried all the tips to improve speed and responsiveness without success. The current system error appears to have no obvious impact. I have located the logs and nothing jumps out at me. QEMU has improved. I tried QEMU over 2 years ago and gave up. It fell over every time while trying to run Borland's Sprint word processor. It now works correctly.
John
