How can we run old Soft-ICE/DOS 2.80 under VPC? VPC emulating AMI BIOS which is known to be problem for soft-ice. Maybe I should try VMware?
Is there any other opportunity to debug Phar Lap extended DOS program?

The trick back in the day was to have a Windows 3.1 and corresponding winice (v1.34 or something like that) installation then modify system.ini (or whichever) to start command.com instead of krnl386.exe. When you ran 'win' this would give you back a DOS prompt with winice lurking in the background, then you could run&debug the DOS extended programs just fine.
