I use Rufus quite often (few times a day) and I have never used it with
GDOS! Why GDOS is needed? I know it comes with it and you are not able to
load additional fonts without it, but that's all. It runs well without GDOS.

Screen won't scroll? That's odd. I have never seen that...
Rufus uses character table similar to German keyboard... That's bad!
Set it so that it uses only 7-bit characters. It usually works.
And you may have the screen-size setting wrong. Try 80x24.

Hope this helps a bit.
