I have a program made for MSDOS that interfaces with a Mass Spectrometer through an ISA interface card. The computer that we had been using just went down and we're trying to install something better than 98 on the new one. Is there a way to give a program access to hardware when emulating DOS in windows?

I thought about something like Virtual PC from Microsoft but as far as I can tell it won't give access to the ISA bus. To complicate things I recently discovered that I can't even use win98 because I can't find drivers for the IBM RAID/SCSI card.
