Hello everyone! Got a nice new(ish) white macbook at 2.4GHz and miss the good old days of Red Alert... I've downloaded the files i need to and installed dosbox (the directory for the files is /Users/andrewhay/Desktop/Dos_Games and i want to install the game in that same file for simplicity). But whenever i try to mount the D drive using the method on here: http://www.infobarrel.com/How_to_get_Command_ … newer_Mac_or_PC

it just comes up saying 'illegal iso type' - i am just typing mount D /Users/andrewhay/Desktop/Dos_Games -t iso

Bit of a noob at dos but what am i doing wrong? And if its not too much hassle does anyone know the exact line by line code i need to put in?

Thanks alot for any help!

ah yes.
there is a flaw in that guide.
the commandline for D should imgmount and not mount.
I assume the iso you have is called red.iso (rename your iso to this and place it in the Dos_Games folder!)

mount c /Users/andrewhay/Desktop/Dos_Games
imgmount d /Users/andrewhay/Desktop/Dos_Games/red.iso -t iso

The proceed with the guide.

I submitted a request to have the guide corrected

Thank you! Getting there slowly -dos has a steep learning curve when you've never used it before...
