You'd honestly be better off getting someone to give you an old 486 box. It'll be easier to find than a copy of an old DOS emulator. Trust me.

Buy a copy of virtual pc (pc-dos),it
includes all the software you need to run
dos 2000 on a mac,aswell as letting you
install windows(even windows nt)and/or
linux.
You can even install multiple os's(ex:one
dos drive,one linux and one for every
version of windows since 95!(free space
and ram decide)without doing an actual
partition on your macintosh hard drive.

ps:windows/linux os's not included with
dos version!

Yeah, spend $200 on something you can get the basic functionality of for free from 10-year-old software that companies don't publish any more.

Somehow the idea of spending $200 on VPC to *learn* DOS strikes me as a bit on the stupid side. But hey, it's not *my* money...

The one without windows cost me
$135.00cdn,on ebay you can most likely
find it for even less,but also keep in mind
connectix offer a 45-day trial version,so
you could always download it and
practice like mad untill it expires.

I heard about FreeDOS, a *duh* free dos clone. Tha challenge is getting that to work on Macintosh. I know I won't buy Virtual PC just so I can run DOS my machine. MacBochs is good, but when I tried to Windows 95 Setup, it gave me a General Protection Fault. What would be a better FREEWARE solution to MacBochs?

There aren't any good freeware emulators. VPC is pretty much the only game in town.
