Using CDROMs in DOS without a CDROM Drive

Описание: I'm currently testing an ITX-Llama, which is a motherboard that supports DOS & Windows 98 games. While it supports CD-ROM drives, I do not have one, so I can't play games that need CD's in DOS. However, there are DOS programs that allow you to mount a folder as CD-ROM drive or mount ISO image files. This is helpful for retro computers dedicated to DOS & Windows 3.x games.
