useful command example:
mount c c:\docprog
where c is the virtual drive volume you suppose to mount
and c:\docprog is path of content folder on your local disk
Good, simple enough for someone like me to set up and use, but I'd like to see more in the area of being user friendly.
I love old games what can play with it!
If you want to run QBASIC on your PC then you're definitely going to need DOSBox.

A excellent DOS port. Now we can play old games in hi-fi computers, and old abandonware in GNU/Linux or MacOSX.
Hey it'll run all your old sweet DOS games safely inside windows, what else do you want.
Satisfy all your burnin DOS yearnings
Great for playing Lemmings en old scool games.
Great for playing old classic games.
DOSBox is a sweet DOS emulator for running oldschool games like SpaceQuest and Leisure Suit Larry. :D Works great.
It's great to play classic 1980s & 1990s DOS games on my 2000s PC. It brings back memories of inserting 5 1/4 inch disks to play games.
works great.
The interface is ridiculous even for DOS, and I don't see how keeping it's dysfunction and confusion means compatibility.
But if you like old games, it's a necessity.
