I agree with Eric. Something like an HP t5740, Dell Optiplex 9010 or 9020
or 790, is about $25 on eBay, runs DOS well, will run DOS well off a cheap
4-16GB USB drive, and will also come with 9-pin serial. The Dells might
even be free on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist.

I'd guess that Apple Bootcamp has a minimal BIOS (if any) and doesn't
include a USB keyboard/mouse to BIOS keyboard/mouse translation method.
You could try Bret's USB DOS drivers (https://bretjohnson.us/) or crazii's
USBDOS drivers (https://github.com/crazii/USBDDOS). You'll likely need to
do that
I could test that theory on the Book8088 and EMM8088 XT machines I have. I
might do that tonight.

What was the qemu command you used? It sounds like you paying a double
penalty somewhere for how you’re get the disk image into qemu. Loopback
devices pay some penalty. 10x seems like some option is missing to improve
performance.

If you’re ok with a Linux cross compiler, you can add “cobol” here (

You inspired me to build one myself. I’m awaiting a few parts now.

FAT is always a finicky filesystem, especially if you're utilizing a

like lbacache, cdrcache, smartdrv, etc?

The quality of the VGA to HDMI adapter isn't great but it works. In
particular, on an HB8088 with an NEC v20 CPU & Chips 451 VGA there's large

Docs (
https://docs.getutm.app/settings-qemu/devices/network/network/#hardware)

also mention that the OS will require a driver for it. virtio is a common
interface for modern Linux, Windows, and I think Mac OS VMs. For DOS,
IIRC, there are some extra (Windows & OS/2) drivers and docs you can remove
from the package to make it fit on a floppy. Try removing those folders
first.

Depends on the vintage of Thinkpad, but I wouldn't just assume a Thinkpad
