I'm not sure Jim Hall is still in Minnesota, but he says his FreeDos will run on DOS emulators for Linux, in virtual windows. They are working on FreeDos 1.3 right now and warn it might be a little different than old MSDOS. Version 1.2 is lots of fun learning how an embedded system might be modeled even today. The IBM PC was a design masterpiece. There is also just such an embedded Linux working group referred to by Intel when I looked into the Intel Edison embedded systems. But IIRC Edison is now kaput, too. I wouldn't dare advise you. This is certainly front lines high priority technology. Best of luck.
