Hi,

I have just installed Dosbox 0.60, and ant to mount a drive from my real harddisk, but I simply cannot type a backslash on my german keyboard!

Using AktGr+ß (the key next to the 0) doesn't work, and trying the correct Ascii code using alt+92 on the numeric keyboard doesn't work either.

So, how do I make a backslash usigng a german keyboard?

cu,

Jackie

Use normal slash "/" instead.

Hi,

thanks for that hint, although that seems quite unusual to me (okay, some unix guys find it normal, but it's quite unusual to dos- and win users).

Isn't there a workaround to simply enter a simple backslash?

Thank you.

cu,

Jackie

If Qbix would have 1€ everytime he has to answer this question, he would be quite rich by now... 😁
