If there is no support from the OS - and AFAIK FreeDOS has no support for such things - it is difficult to implement and most likely requires "virtual device drivers", at least for HD access.

It might be more promising to allow to run several QEMU sessions (=DPMI clients) concurrently in ONE DOS task. What's needed then is a DOS KQEMU module for better speed.
