Hello,
Playing the game Wizard's Crown on DOSBox, and the game runs great, thanks!

I just ran into one problem. there is a game utility that allows you to reset dungeon levels, but you need the original game disk in drive A. I had to shut the game down without saving it, and lost a critical piece I had found in a dungeon.

I had this game, original box and all... 24 years ago, but this version I downloaded off of http://www.myabandonware.com/game/wizards-crown-79.

Is there some way I can emulate the original game disk?
The way I used to do it in DOS was diskcopy to another 5 1/4 floppy, play the game off the copy, and keep the original as the game disk for use with the utilities.
I tried mounting a clean version of the game on drive A(mount a c:\WIZ) and the "play" disk as drive B. didn't work.
I tried mounting the clean version as a cdrom (mount a c:\WIZ -t cdrom) as well, but this didn't work either.
Thanks

Oh... where do I get that? The game is so old, I didn't think anybody was selling it...
