Maybe this mistake deserves some attention. It happens quite often and maybe a little code to dosbox would be usefull to point out users their mistake in using that character in the mount command 😀 (I don't even know where that character is on my (german) keyboard...)

on my US keyboard it's the key right above the Enter key with the "| and the \" slash.
.
It shows as "|" in Windows but it shows as the above picture in DosBox.

Interesting the key which does | in Windows does look the same ("|" not like ":") in Dosbox for me (if I load the german keyboardlayout - if not the key is where you say it is and does look like in the screenshot).
