I have an idea for a few more “emulations”.

Many dos engines run with the command /auto232

In the early years of dos programming this auto232 player was established by chrilly donninger.

The idea was that 2 pcs could autotest 2 DOS chess programs by using a driver that sends the moves from PC 1 to PC 2 and vice versa.

If it would be possible to redirect those input/ output commands from com port to mess, it would be possible to access the engines via a normed interface under windows.

The next step would be that these programs could be run e.g. in mysticum, or on rasberry pie, or any other external board that uses the infra structures.

Dos boxes work on almost any operating system.

This way one could make the dos engines UCI compatible.
And load them e.g. in some chess computers that normally use UCI compatibility of windows engines to run them on chess computers.

This means GAVON, DGT Pi or certabo etc. Mysticum etc. Could run dos engines too.
