I have an older CAD Program that has an LPT dongle I can get it to work with the special version compiled for LPT pass through. But I have problems with DOSBOX's File system.
If I mount a folder for the c drive it will load the program but when accessing some files for the program it will exit the program and give "FILE NOT FOUND" message.
So i made a 100mb image file and mounted it, installed FREEDOS on it, and booted it. Everything works in the program but I have no access to other drives in dosbox when booting into FREEDOS. I would like to get it working natively in DOSBOX so I can use other mapped drives from the original system.
If I mounted the same FREEDOS image directly in DOSBOX the same thing happens as if I would mount a folder. I get "FILE NOT FOUND" and the program exits. I have a feeling it has something to do with FAT16 emulation that is done in DOSBOX.
Is there any switch or option I can use to get the mounts to work properly? Also is there a way to mount drives so when FREEDOS loads it still see the mounts that were done in DOSBOX?
