Default can't get ascendancy to play on dosbox.

I got help here about a year ago for this problem. A guy from Zagrab solved it for me.

I installed Ascendancy and dosbox, but I can't get it to mount the e drive (cdrom) to my c drive which is where I have mounted the c:\ascend.

Every time I try to mount the drive I get a failure.

mount c c:\ascend

drive C mounted as local directory c:\ascend\

mount c e:\ -t cdrom

MSCDEX
Drive c already mounted with local directory C:\ascend\


so I try

mount d e:\ -t cdrom
Drive d is mounted as CDROM e:\

mount d c:\ascend\ -t cdrom

MSCDEX failure Drive letters of multi cdrom drives must be continious

It is quite normal that it doesn't work. What exactly are you trying to do? I'll type it in for you.

You could also simply try to drop the c in
Quote:
mount c e:\ -t cdrom
and write instead
Quote:
mount e -t cdrom

Ok, my cd drive is e:

Ascend is saved on my c: as C:\ascend

So I have to mount a hard drive (c and then it has to read it off the CD.

I had it written down but lost it in my last move, I know it isn't alot of typing but I can't remember after I mount the e drive how to get the C: to read from it. If I mount c c:\ascend it will load and up the logic factory info and then it asks for the cd to be inserted.

Well then, I think your mistake is that you forgot the double coma. You should write "mount d: c:\ascend -t cdrom" instead.

Not very clear all .... do you have the CD weavka32?
If yes, those are -(probably)- your mount lines:
mount c c:\ascend
mount d e:\ -t cdrom
c:
cd ascend

That puts you in c:\ascend with CDDrive E mounted as D:
However, if you installed the game from CD you must use the same drive letter as the one you used when installing the game.
Example, if you used E your CD mount becomes:
mount e e:\ -t cdrom
We can't know what letters you used.
In the worst case, start over from scratch and reinstall the game.
