Everything runs fine. I get a C prompt, but I cannot find the program directory under DosBox. I can see it using Android, but not within DosBox.

Thanks,

Michael

If you are using an Android port of DOSBox, You should ask the author of that port as it is not supported here. It is not an official port.

Thank you for your response.

Is there another way to run DOS on the Android?

Only other way would be QEmu or Bochs, if they are even available on Android.

Look at what it says the subdirectory being mounted as C: is. It's probably similar to "/sdcard/somedirectory". To change the mount point, look for how to edit the .conf file or the autoexec section if it.
