Just for laughs, you could try fiddling with the Compatibility settings for a while. Maybe luck into a modified Win95 setting that might actually display something other than a blank screen. (while running in the DosBox)

In DOS itself, you could try different memory manager settings and such, to see if that helps the video settle down any.

In the first XP book I read (back when XP first came out - seems like it had Norton in the title), I remember the author recommending to folks who wanted to still be able to play their DOS games that they make a separate partition for just DOS when first setting up the machine. That way they could play the games from a "true" DOS environment [rather a dual-boot DOS/XP machine]. Because it is a bit tough to get them to run in XP.
