Hello list I'm now really sure my problem with DOSEUM (see below) is hardware related. It works on one machine, but not on some others. I'm not aware of any way to work around this problem, so that I can start DOSEMU. I'd then want to try running DOSEMU in a virtual machine, e.g. using qemu. Do anyone know how I can get the screen output from a such machine in a text console?
