You may want to give dosbox-x a go, it has more accurate emulation of floppy and hdd.

If you remove the "-ide 1m" parameter, it should work. I don't know if the -ide parameter is supported by ECE. It is not listed on the dosbox wiki https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/IMGMOUNT Assuming the filesystem inside the img file is supported (fat16) and created by DOS 5.0 or later (including Win9x), …

If you want to run Win9x, and have support for niceties like CD-ROM support, then have a look at DOSBox-X instead. There are instructions on the DOSBox-X Wiki on how to install various Windows version. Right now, depending on your host system, it can be a bit slow for late era Win9x games, since you …

What networking application are you trying to run? Regular DOSBox has no Ethernet emulation support (NE2000). In any case, in DOSBox those variables are fixed. Part of this is due to the fact that DOSBox is only supported for running games. If you want to run other DOS applications, you may want to …

Is there any demand for a client/server setup in the above emulators? Is that a viable option for real time games in emulation? Also, how many players are robustly supported by IPX in a peer-to-peer setup? I have not seen any (thorough) reports about it. I think that the play by email option in …

But if their aim is to use native IPX (which is likely, since barely anything DOS related used TCP/IP) this isn't going to help at all. It's a solution for a non-existent problem; TCP/IP is already easily available using serial hardware emulation. Agreed, just using it to run mTCP is of little use. …

I agree with your general statement, but the problem is that PCAP does not work at all for some users. Namely if they only have WIFI (as very few implementations support promiscuous mode), which is becoming increasingly common.

Regarding modifying the NE2000 emulation, there is a PR on the dosbox-x github page which adds support for a libslirp backend, in addition to the existing pcap backend. This PR will probably be merged soon. Right now it is only for Linux though, Windows support still needs to be added. The advantage …

FYI, you cannot install MS-DOS any longer on many new PCs. Only those where you still have the BIOS option to switch from UEFI to Legacy Boot, and many new systems no longer have the option. In fact Intel had announced that they would drop support for Legacy Boot from 2020. In addition, even if your …

I would also suggest for IPX support after booting DOS that you check out the networking guide on the DOSBox-X Wiki. There are instructions for how to use the Novell IPX stack with the NE2000 emulation.

If it is an ISO or CUE/BIN file, why not mount it directly with dosbox-x instead of using an external mounting tool like Deamon tools? As I said, just mount it with the IMGMOUNT command.

The glide2x.ovl is found on the emulated Z: drive, but only if you successfully enable glide on the host (have the glide wrapper correctly installed) and have the glide option enabled.
