I can't even "divert" the VM to an existing partition or physical, dedicated hard disk. ![]() Whenever I add a new virtual hdd controller (with any type of interface), I only get the option to add an existing virtual hdd file or create a new one. Not trying to be argumentative here, but VirtualBox doesn't allow me to do anything close to what DOSBOX is doing, which is, setting up a virtual machine from scratch which can let the guest mounting entire folders of the host as if they were actual hard disks. Other hypervisors have a VVFAT mode which exposes a directory as a faked FAT32-format disk. VirtualBox supports all of that easily (no hoops), albeit shared folders with only a special driver on the guest side. So, in order to capture prints sent to the LPT1:, LPT2:, LPT3. COM4:), DOSBox-X does support up to 9 parallel and serial ports (up to LPT9: and COM9:), so, if your own DOS program prints to a printer connected to the (say) LPT5: port, you'll have to use this DOSBox variant. Please note that while DOSBox SVN Daum and DOSBox MegaBuild support 3 parallel ports (LPT1.
