As somebody who used to work on embedded systems (some of which were DOS based), I feel you are wasting time with a software emulation solution. I would strongly recommend putting together a cheap DOS only system and a kvm (keyboard/video/mouse) switch and simply run both simultaneously. If management has any objections simply point out the lost in productivity of you having to fool with this stuff. Unfortunately, sometimes it's hard to get the beancounters to understand things like this.
