Hi! I have on a Win11/64 laptop a system to emulate Win16 on DOSBox. My current setup uses DOSBox to emulate the Win16 environment and three simulated hard drives. Now, I want to use floppies with it. As it stands, I can set it up to use floppies, but I want the floppies to be compressed. Right now, I need to exit the emulator each time I switch compressed disks. I know DOSBox doesn't support disk compression, but can I run disk compression on DOSBox-X? If so, how? I can handle installing the software if DOSBox-X supports it. If necessary, I can convert to DOSBox-X. Thank you.
