Dosbox-x works differently on different machines
Juanito:
This would seem to indicate that error is fixed: https://github.com/joncampbell123/dosbox-x/issues/1963
Juanito:
dosbox-x updated

Thank you so much, waiting for it to be available via App. :)

Apologies, I missed the "-x" when I read your original post.
Then I missed it again in the link Juanito provided. :-[

I didn't realize your RAM situation was that tight. Since your Autocad is a
DOS version, you shouldn't even need Linux, should you?
I think you would maximize available RAM if you:
1. Create a separate disk partition.
2. Format it with a DOS (FAT, FAT16, FAT32) based file system.
3. Install FreeDos (or some other DOS).
4. Boot that partition.
5. Install and run Autocad directly in that partition.

I think you meant:
"That's because a Linux (UNIX) version of Autocad no longers exists"
According to this it was available for 4 UNIX platforms:

Then there's this (firing up Autocad on Silicon Graphics workstation, June 2018):

Yes, I wonder why they didn't chose a different name since it causes problems in googling: tons of stuffs about Dosbox instead of Dosbox-x.

FreeDos needs a VM to run. The Pentium II was designed for Win98, I think DOS wouldn't recognize its hardware.

Yes, I'd maximize the available RAM but that way (if doable) I'm forced to switch between DOS and Linux. That's unpractical.
While my aim is to make a system fully exploitable.

No, I referred =exactly= to a Linux version.
Autodesk switched from Unix to Windows because an agreement with Microsoft. They never considered Linux.

Yes, the problem is to own the relevant hardware.
I own a HP 9000/700 running HP-UX but the proper version of Autocad (R12 or 13) is unfindable.
SG was a top level, exclusive system. Their OS run only on their hardware.
The guys at Mame have been able to emulate a SG machine, but it's impossible to install all that on a Pentium 2.
