1: Download FMAVEN from https://www.briggsoft.com/fmdos.htm
2: Create directory for use as c-drive
mkdir /home/mike/dos
unzip ../../Downloads/fmav35a.zip
3: Grant yourself access to the serialport
sudo usermod -a -G dialout mike
newgrp dialout
4: Install DOSBOX
sudo apt install dosbox
dosbox -printconf
5: Edit config-file
vim .dosbox/dosbox-0.74-3.conf
Locate the line in the [serial] block who says "serial1=dummy" and change it to:
serial1=directserial realport:ttyUSB0
and go to the [autoexec] block and add:
mount c ~/dos
