When I type "intro", I receive info how to mount drives, including CD-ROM drives. But nothing about dvd drives.

Is there specific command to mount dvd drives? Or should I simply type the line for CD drive:

mount d d:\ -t cdrom -usecd 0 -ioctl?

I doubt there is any DOS game that needs low-level access to a dvd drive.
So just mount it like a directory, "mount d d:\"

uhm, just assume that a DVD drive is the same as a CD-Rom drive. If you want to mount a CD-Rom in your DVD drive, use the same settings as for mounting a CD-Rom drive. If you want to mount just a directory on a DVD-Rom (or CD-Rom) just follow standard mounting procedures.
I wonder if the readme should mention that or just go on assuming that everyone knows that 😀
