Picture this:

Image mount a floppy, start installing a program off the floppy, when the install program asks for disk #2.. well I'm screwed because it was an image, not an actual floppy that I can switch out.

Since Dosbox is well.. DOS, I can't get back to the terminal once I'm in a program (see: Control-Z) to unmount image Disk 1 and mount image Disk 2.

How difficult would it be to add some sort of way to mount drives behind the scenes, either in the 2nd status window, or by a (windows) drop down menu?

(Or is it supported already?)

Well shoulda looked before I leapt..

found 2 forum questions mentioning the same topic:

How to swap virtual disks in DosBox?
installing windows 3.11 (or any multiple floppy prog)

I'll have to try those out, mounting multiple floppies via the imgmount command and using ctrl-f4 sounds pretty promising, yet it sounds like some people couldn't get it to work.. I'll have to play around with it.
