I have the original game and floppies, using a USB floppy disk on Windows 7 running Dosbox 0.74. When it completes the load of Disk 1, it is just terminating the load without prompting for the other disks. Tried manually loading them to a directory following it's procedure but wont work. It will only load Disk 1. No problem on others including FOG but this under DosBox just terminates after the first.

Maybe your USB floppy drive isn't working in the way the program expects?

You might want to try making images of each of the floppy disks (RawWrite for Windows works pretty well for that) and then using IMGMOUNT or Virtual Floppy Drive to mount the images. Note that mounting multiple floppy disk images requires an SVN version of DOSBox. See the readme for usage details.
