i recently followed the guide to get windows 95 working in dosbox and it works good, however i want to get a cd mounted within my win95 encironment especialy since theres some game si want to isntall and one game i have wont work if there is no cd rom detected as it thinks its "busy"

ive tried imgmount 2 iso -t iso -f iso and again with the num 3 just like how the hd is mounted with a number however it says a drive letter is required for mounting an iso is there any way to get this working

can a second hard disk image also be mounted to work with it?

no and no 😀 I think neither works. CD-Rom does not work for sure and mounting a second image as hd doesn't work as well. I *think*

well win95 isn't a supported target/goal. So we aren't actively trying to fix problems with it.
Lowlevel cdrom support which win95 probably needs, isn't very like to be added to the CVS of dosbox.

Second harddisk works just fine for me, just be sure both images are fine

If daemon tools doesn't work under win95 maybe try some old nero or so.
