No, I do.

I'm developing under Win95/98. Among other things DOS-executables for an 
embedded PC. They run perfectly. They even run under NT/2000. Where they 
don't 
run is Linux' DOS-Emu. Seems, it does not like the port accesses anymore.

So what the hell do you think are you talking about? VMWare? WINE?
