Wow, had not heard of this one either. VERY interesting - I'm going to
be checking this out too.
Thanks to Hollowone for mentioning it!

I tested it for an article that I recently published.
In my opinion, if you just want to run some DOS or even Windows 95 application, DOSbox-X is probably the easiest way.
PCem and its fork 86box are targetted at emulation precision, which
means they take a good bunch of resources to run in comparison. Also, since they are designed to emulate a number of devices, they are harder
to setup. These are the options to pick if you need to replicate a specific environment... otherwise they are a bit overkill.
