Hi! I asked here before how to do it but didn't get a clear response. 🙁 Now, I use a lot of floppies on a lot of different systems including a modern Win11/64 laptop. I do that because I like them. I think that's because of their low capacity and what I get if I compress them. I have a Win16 setup on a DOSBox emulator and want to put some of its info on compressed floppies. However, DOSBox definitely doesn't support DOS drivers. 🙁 I am willing to upgrade to DOSBox-X. I also have I think SuperStor somewhere. If I load the compression driver from DOSBox-X's config.sys emulation, can I compress real floppies or hard drives mounted using mount and access their contents?
