Hi Joseph and list, this is an amazing community, and I would like to say thank you for all the valuable help I am getting here. Since this is a process of playful learning for me, all your responses have been most welcome, and all have been useful to different degrees and in different areas. Your openness and questions are giving me some excellent opportunities to spread the word on how blind people use computers. Eric, your Dosemu approach seems optimum to me for casual gaming scenarios. Thank you very much for this. Joseph, you are correct in assuming I have been using Talking Dosbox, and so I'll definitely look into your VM solution. Thank you very much for that one. Could you please elaborate a bit on how I might get some games I have on my hard drive into the VM? Is there a way in VMWare Player to map, for instance, drive d: to point to some directory on the host? Or can I somehow mount and edit the VM's file system while the VM is sleeping? Best, Felix
