Install Win3.1 on DOSBox

I want to install Windows 3.1 onto DOSBox at my mother's house. I have some old Win3.1 disks I got from eBay with another item and also some games and videos from the era laying around. I want a full setup, i.e. 800x600 256-color, full sound, virtual memory, etc. I heard that Win3.1 didn't come with …

Re: Using floppy images in DOSBox?

I just want to share information with my mother's computers. One such has a USB drive but two don't. Besides, if I put them on a flash drive, I can't use them at my program. I plan to run software in compressed format under DOSBox on several computers. It is not necessary that I do this, but I like …

Thank you. I'll look at it later. BTW, I'm not ready to install WinMount. Can I get a real NTFS-formatted floppy on WinXP/Vista? I formatted a few disks and the option wasn't there. Besides that, NTFS compression is poor, and I want a better way to compress files.

Re: A little compression and RAM drive

Do the DOS ramdisk utils not work? Most DOS ramdisks load from config.sys, and those that don't may interfere with DOSBox's drive mounting approach. I will try XMSDSK now and get back to you. I for one cannot see any point to a RAM drive in DOSBox A RAMdisk shouldn't improve speed much in this case …
