Oh your first posting didn't hint at you using dosbox.
And for the next time, please try to state your actual problem and what
you already tried PRECISELY, not just "xy doesn't run, i tried cycles",
that's quite useless.

Give up. You will not be able to run Daggerfall at a playable speed on that computer. I doubt even VPC would run it adequately on that machine.

Then can someone tell me how, or give me a working compile of dosbox to make it run a little better?

Sure - go on Ebay and get youself a cheap Pentium PC, a SoundBlaster AWE32, use DOS 6.22 and you are set... On the Mac Dosbox emulation side, give it up. If Dosbox was hand-coded in assembler for your Mac g3 iBook - it still would not be fast enough to run Daggerfall.

If you paid $100 for Daggerfall then spending a bit more for some old DOS hardware would be the way to go...

Best of luck,
