I am trying to mount a drive, but have noticed my backslash key (\) doesn't work?

A couple of my other keys on my keyboard also yield different keys in DOSBox.

Thanks 😀

Did you load your keyboard map using keyb?

I did enter "keyb" and it said codepage 437 has been loaded.

I still don't have my \ key working.... did I need to do something after that?

Thank you 😀

OK!

I found the GUI keyboard mapper by pressing CTRL F1 and I was able to reassign my keys!!

Thank you all so much for your help!

Is this some laptop keyboard?

I'm sure, you already know you can use / instead of \ 😉
