I am a die-hard user of MS DOS 6.22, Qbasic 1.1 and Foxpro for DOS v.2.5 a for all my DBM from late 1980s on elementary hardware from ancient 8086 to P4.
I want to run MS DOS 6.22 as the only OS with other 8 bit apps like Qbasic 1.1 and Foxpro for DOS with DotMatrix Printer support on newer PCs like Dell Inspiron 660s Desktop – only DBMS is required.
Graphics, Multimedia, networking, internet etc., are not required on this MS DOS 6.22 PC.
Can DOS RAM limit, DOS hard disk limit etc., be got over?
I request comprehensive guidance.
Thanx!

So I suggest you download and install MS Virtual PC or VirtualBox, both free and quite easy to setup. MS Virtual PC claims it doesn’t support DOS, but this is false, just a MS trick to push forgetting DOS. You need a legal copy of DOS of course, but you can get FreeDOS, the free open source DOS clone even better than the original one. If you have DOS diskettes you need a floppy reader or a tool to make their virtual images (see e.g. Winimage).
About using dot matrix printers, usually connected via parallel port, there are cheap tools to workaround using modern USB peripherals (e.g. DOSPRN). But this is just the end of the story and you are actually facing the cover of this amazing book.
