This might be a stupid question, but why bother?  You can go
to Radio Shack and buy a DOS machine for $299 and not have to
worry about all of the problems you might other wise run into
trying to make one screwball machine pretend to be another
screwball computer, not to mention the possible speed differences
and the problem of keeping all of the pieces running on compatible
versions of software.  I'm sure that any software or board solution
is going to cost more than the corresponding PC hardware.  There
are pleanty of low cost DOS compatible machines that are reliable.

I must have missed something here...   8-)
