I need to run an old DOS program that communicates with a 9-bit serial protocol that need an ancient UART. This hardware is nearly unubtanium.
I think a good DOS emulator could fake this with an external - say arduino - device on the wire. I emailed the dosbox crew about this but got no response. Any ideas?
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoHack QEmu to add an emulation for the UART. It's not as hard to add devices in there as you'd think.
- phkahler 5y agoSince it's for work I was hoping to pay someone to do it. Have to run it by management but I think 90% they'd go for it. Thanks for the tip, I'll check out qemu.
- cmrdporcupine 5y agoFWIW I am not working right now (and for the next month or so, waiting on a job offer) and might be interested, depending on the specifics. ryan [dot] daum @ gmail.com
