How Well Does A Dos Emulator Work?

[xamindar]

I have a couple of very old games and an old dos program that could be usefull on my zaurus.  Does anyone have any experience with dos stuff on their z?  Does sound in those old games (you know, the ones that required a sound blaster) work?

I know people have gotten dosbox and qemu to work.  They are quality emulators that can run old games with soundblaster emulation very well.    The question is how fast those emulators run on a Z.  

I haven't tried them (yet) but I wouldn't expect much more than 386 performance out of them (and even that might be asking alot)

I got dosbox installed and tried running an old game called "Project Nomad" and it ran.  But it ran too slow, unplayable.

Well, now I know it works.
