I have read the FAQ all readmes.. nothing works.

All I'm trying to do is create/mount a C: drive to get this this working.

Using a Mac, intel core duo, 10.5.3

created a folder in my home folder names dos

in DOSbox typed

mount c/Users/username/dos

I get the message:

"Usage MOUNT Drive-Letter Local-Directory
So a MOUNT c c:\windows mounts windows directory as the c: drive"

It never works.

help please

mount c ~/dos

The tilde ~ marks your username folder and within DOSBox, press F6 ("Num") to aktivate the number block, now press the "alt" key and 1+2+6 in the number block to get the ~ within DOSBox. Finally, press F6 again to de-activate the number block.

And yes, note the space. 😉

Cool, thanks that worked... guess my eyes are bad.

OK, next problem, the CD.

I switch to the C drive, then type:

mount d /Volumes/TIECD -t cdrom

I get:
MSCDEX: Mounted subdirectory: limited support.
Drive D is mounted as CDRom /Volumes/TIECD

I switch to the D: drive and nothing happens, how do I load the game?

thanks

Dunno, look at the files that are present.
Usually install.exe or setup.exe

Maybe add further parameters, like

-label TIECD

if the game expect the label name of the CD; or

-usecd 0

if you use a real cd.

Thanks all... I typed "install" and it worked! But still no sound.
