Okay, thanks Fred.
Makes me wonder why the designers didn't put in a
command to mount every drive on the system. Then
you can unmount any you don't want the box to
have access to (in the incredibly rare event of your wanting that).
Wouldn't a sensible system a) mount all your
operative drives, and b) mount them with the same
drive names they normally have (including C:) and
give the drive for the box some different letter.
A: and B: are both available, since the demise of floppies.

âBoxer (and DOSBox) only see drives, and their
contents, that have been "mounted" in the
configuration file. So for example one can mount
the Mac desktop as, say, d:\; then anything on
it is recognized. Files in other locations on
the host just don't exist for it, unless and
until their location is mounted as a drive.
