Hello.
I am enjoying using Dosbox-X and have installed windows 98 on it, using virtual img files.
But I would like to install my windows 98 games using physical media (Virtual CD-rom functionality works great in Windows 95/98).
I can mount my physical CD-ROM drive in dos. But when I run windows 95/98 the physical drive disappears.
I have tried several different commands for mounting the physical CD-rom drive, but with the same result.
(This example is from the Dosbox configuration file using a M1 Mac, but I get the same issues with a Windows PC).
[autoexec]
# Lines in this section will be run at startup.
# You can put your MOUNT lines here.
imgmount c /Users/harry/dropbox/mac/documents/dosbox_x/Win98.img (This is my boot drive C:. Works)
imgmount d /Users/harry/dropbox/mac/documents/dosbox_x/spill.img (This is my game drive D:. Works)
imgmount e /Users/harry/dropbox/mac/documents/dosbox_x/cd/Windows_98SE.iso -t iso (This is the virtual CD-rom E:. Works)
mount f /Volumes/BI3_E_CD1 -ide 1m -t cdrom (This is the physical CD-ROM drive F:. Works in dos, but not windows 95/98).
keyb no (Norwegian Keyboard layout)
boot c: (Boot C: drive when I open Dosbox-X)
Does anybody have an idea of how I can get mye physical CD-ROM drive to show up In Windows 95/98?
