There is not a direct way through which one can run Dos programs in windows 64 bit. However there are some indirect ways.
Either one can use Virtual machines like VmWare player or DosBox could be an alternate.IF you need further information regarding how to run those programs in vm player or in DosBox simply comment.

How to use the physical parallel port in a guest with virtual box

I am trying to virtualise a DOS guest on a windows 7 host because the physical box is going to break in short (386, very old). Unfortunately there is a software running using a hardware dongle on parallel port. AFAIK there is no virtual parallel port in vbox, and anyways it probably would not work with a dongle.

So how can I configure vbox to exclusively use the hosts parallel port?
