question for folks more familiar with DOS and Win9x than I am: is it possible to run 32 bit code in a DOS VM? I know 32 bit DOS extenders were a thing and I see DPMI lets you request 32 bit protected mode but this doesn't seem to work under Windows and I wonder if I'm missing something or whether you just couldn't do this
