Did you try the "setver.exe" utility on the .exe files of that
application
It kinda cheats the apps to think that it is running an older version
of DOS.

Hello all,
I have just acquired a PC-based instrument. It's a Model DTA 8850
Digital Timing Analyzer, made in 1989 by a company called International
Test Instruments, Inc. in Irvine, CA. Unfortunately, they seem to be out
of business.
The machine is based on a PC architecture, with the specialized signal
conditioning circuitry on a backplane. It has some sort of non-volatile
electronic disk as the C drive. I was able to determine that the
operating system is DOS 3.3, but there is something munged about it,
because it won't run the application software for the instrument. I can
boot the instrument from a floppy, but the only version of DOS I have is
6.22, and the instrument gives "Incorrect DOS Version" error messages
when I run the application software (but it does run).
I would like to get a copy of DOS 3.3 to restore this machine to its
original state. Also, does anyone know anything about International Test
Instruments, or (fingers crossed) have a manual or other information
about this machine?
Thanks in advance,
Stan
