Hi there,
I have a whole CD Rom just filled with DOS text applications that
should work under dosemu0.48. The problem is that I can not figure out
how to make dos recognize the CD Rom under the emulator. I tried mounting
it as /usr/dos, but it seems linux.exe can only recognize minix file systems?
I also tried using my DOS drivers. I was quite impressed that I didn't
get any errors until I actually tried to do a directory of the CDROM. I
tried this with both the CD mounted and unmounted with the same results.
Much better than the previous versions of dosemu which would have crashed...
So before I go trying to hack the emulator is there either source for linux.exe
so I can recompile it to support CD ROM's or some other solution I haven't
thought of?
Bill
