Hello,

I have 2 PC's, 1 for DOS and 1 for XP, both are used for bench programming and they are communicated using serial port, now I would like to use single PC, which can handle DOS & XP and there communication

1) How can make internal communication between DOS & XP ?
 

Have you tried assigning different COM ports to the XP program and the DOS program, along with a serial cable to connect the two COM ports together?
 

First question - can i install DOS & XP on PC? I am not sure how this can be done, do you mind sharing me some link to proceed?

this is the experiment i am trying , I have found one PC, which has 2 COM ports.
 

You can run an ms-dos shell on an XP machine:

If the command prompt window does not run the DOS program then you'll probably have to resort to running dosbox https://www.dosbox.com/information.php?page=0, which is used to run old dos games (which almost never run under a command window).
 

Do you mean that you want to communicate between a dos program and a win32 program under xp in the same machine?
 

Run DOS in a virtual machine (e.g. VirtualBox) and utilize a virtual serial port.
 

Hi,

Maybe you could communicate vai a file, or via STDIO...

Maybe you could install two virtual comm ports communicating over ethernet (RFC2217).
