When you perform a mount of your c:\ drive in DosBox be sure to specify the -freesize xxx parameter. Where xxx = amount of space you want to emulate.

Yeah, I've heard that dynamic for PPC is being worked on so that would be your best bet instead of hacking together a solution. It's best for all players to be using the same solution instead of some hacked together one.

I hope Uwe Boll keeps on making crappy video game movies. He may provide an incentive for people like Peter Jackson to create excellent video game movies. 😀 Thanks Uwe! Keep on doing your thing!
