Comments about DOSBox SVN Daum as an Alternative to DOSBox
Feature rich with very good support to run Windows 98 (requires a bit of work to make this happen, but does it fairly well once it's configured) and performs considerably better than the original release!
It's based on DOSBox sources, but it's updated much more frequently.
