Good DOS emulator

Hello, at our company, we have custom intellectual property that has been written to interface with DOS equipment. The BAUD rate is too fast on modern machines, so we would need a suitable virtualization/emulator to run said programs. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good emulator/visualizer that we could use?

Trying to move files from windows 11 to a bootable dos flash drive

I'm trying to move files from my windows computer to my dos computer. I can access files from my usb when it's been turned into a bootable drive, but then my windows computer can't access it. I tried using dos box, but it couldn't find the directory. Is there anything I can do?

Answering machine program?

I have an old IBM ThinkPad 701C that came with PC-DOS. It has a built-in modem.

http://www.conradshome.com/thinkpad/701/overview/

Apparently, the laptop could be used as a "speakerphone and automated digital answering machine."

I haven't had much luck finding applications to send and receive phone calls using the phone jack on an older DOS machine?

Go to r/Dos for all your MS Dos needs!

There's a lot more traffic there and it's overall better.

Dos Command Help? RMDir Command

Hi guys, hoping someone can help! I'm trying to do two things and I'm not quite sure how to do.

First: I have a directory with 200 random folder names, inside each is two subfolders with files: <200files>\Media and <200files>\Media - Original. I want to delete all the "Media - Original" ones without affecting the "Media" ones.

I know RMDIR /S would delete it; but how do I do the spaces? Would it be:

RMDIR /S *" - Original"

Or is there something else needed?

Second, I have another set of 200 folders with random names on another drive. This one has 6 different subfolders (all the same ones) on each of the 200 folders. There's \Images, \Sound, \Themes, \Video, \Wheel Sounds, and \Media.

I want to make a copy of all 200 folders but only copy the \Media subfolder of all these folders and the folders they are in... so, I can't just copy 200 subfolders of \Media because I'll have \Media1, \Media2...\Media200 due to duplicates if it doesn't also copy the parent folder.

Is this possible with the XCOPY command? I see the /S and /E would help (/s for subdirectories, and /e for empty ones). Would this work:

XCOPY *\MEDIA /e /s C:\CLONES\

Or would that only copy the media folders and not their parents? Is there a way to do this?
