Attempting to run Knight Force under DOSBox 0.65 results in the following error:
INVALID DISK ! #err#1-FF01
I thought I'd use the debug version to see what might be going on; the only lines are
1334930: EXEC:Parsing command line: c:
1359066: EXEC:Parsing command line: knight
1359069: EXEC:Execute knight.EXE 0
1359069: FILES:file open command 0 file knight.EXE
1359804: BIOS:Disk 0 not active
1360037: BIOS:Disk 0 not active
1360286: BIOS:Disk 0 not active
1360515: BIOS:Disk 1 not active
1360734: BIOS:Disk 1 not active
The game's manual also has a few unusual lines on the subject:
For IBM PC/XT/AT/F’S, turn on your monitor, followed by the computer
and insert the MS/DOS disk into the first internal disk drive.
Your computer will read the system on the disk and will display on the
screen prompt A>.
Remove the MS/DOS disk from the disk drive and insert the KNIGHT
FORCE program disk into the same drive. Then enter the command
KNIGHT.
Any suggestiosn on what might be going on here? What does "Disk x not active" mean, and can I get around it somehow?
