Hi I'm new to Dosbox, so please pardon my ignorance.
Is there a way to unmount a drive. I notice that the Z: is mounted to the Dosbox command folder. Is it possible to remount that drive to another driver letter and use the Z: for a different drive?
I have Synology NAS which is generally mapped as a Z: across my home network and a number of scripts I use all assume Z: access.

Any ideas?

The next version of dosbox will allow this.
Although there is no information on when it will be released.

But seriously even if the NAS is mounted as Z in your system does this affect playing in dosbox?

Mounted drive letters are purely internal to DOSBox. My Windows has had a Z: network drive for ages, it doesn't conflict in any way.
