   if they are using real MS/PC-DOS, yes... at least up to version 7, i think...   
      
   it doesn't matter if the machine is virtualized... that only fakes the   
   hardware...   
      
   DOSbox, on the other hand, is not a hardware virtualization... at least, not   
   AFAIK... it is a DOS environment and may not be subject to that old limitation   
   from the original m$ code...   
      
   other DOSes may also not be limited... it just depends on the code...
