Thanks for your checking and confirmation Christoph. Do you think there is any point to do more testing to try to find an exact failure mode or sequence, or is it pointless since even if found, it would not appear DOSBox would be fixed, as the latest version is from 2010?

I saw no error in the DOSBox status window, so it would be hard to find. Even more, as you wrote correctly, I don't think that anybody would fix it in a near future.

You can decide, using TCP like with DOSBox or under Windows named pipes. I saw no speed differences during my tests.

Serial ports:

Port Mode: TCP

Check Connect to existing pipe/socket

Path/Address: localhost:599999

or

Port Mode: Host Pipe

Check Connect to existing pipe/socket

Path/Address: \\.\pipe\pilpipe
