Did you look into interacting with the DOSEMU2 project on GitHub?

I'm not aware of anybody still actively maintaining anything related to DOSEMU1, so it seems unlikely that this would be picked up. If you can find the opportunity to join the DOSEMU2 community and elaborate on the issues you see with DOSEMU2, that would likely be a more optimal way to proceed. Best regards, Julius Schwartzenberg
