I did some comparison and everything looked the same. 

Finally I decided just to copy the config.sys from the old machine to the new
machine. The only real difference was some drive letters. The hardware is
exactly the same. So I copied the file over, modified it for a few drive letter
changes and such. After some reboots due to changes that I missed, I finally
got it to boot and SIO was loading up fine. No idea why it is working now, but
not before. But I am sure it has to do with some other conflicting driver that
was being loaded on the new machine that I wasn't using on the old machine. 

DOS window would still not open though. So I copied autoexec.bat from old to
new and rebooted. Boom, that started working. Strange as I could have sworn
they were exactly the same. 

But then as I was rebooting, changing things, rebooting, etc. I noticed the
machine would hang occasionally when loading PMSHELL. At that point I finally
just gave up and decide to try it on another machine another day. So I put this
on the back burner for now. I don't have the patience that I used to have LOL
