added note about running INSTALL.EXE to change config (2022-12-30 16:33)

The config will save as I said previously EVEN THOUGH you will not be able to progress through the entire install where it attempts to copy files from drive A:
That last part you just hit ESC and exit and then get your SIMCITY.CFG file and move as I said before.

floppies not needed actually (2022-12-30 08:04)

Speaking of the DOS version 1.07 from 1989...
If you run INSTALL.EXE from the main SimCity folder it allows you to get through the configuration and actually saves the SIMCITY.CFG file to a subfolder called SimCity below your main SimCity folder. All you have to do is move it up one folder to your main SimCity folder and you'll notice the change.
DOSBox needs to add Covox support and improve its Tandy support which seems marginal, but otherwise you are correct about the sound.

Keep your floppies close (2022-06-24 17:42)

The game is legendary and the emulation is yop notch. However, the game only copies to the harddrive the files needed for yout current graphic mode.

That means that if you want to experiment with other modes, you will be asked to insert your floppies again. And the ones from the expansions -Terrain editor and Graphic Sets 1-2- too, if you've also installed those.

Oh, and the early versions of the game only have sound support for the PC Speaker, Tandy sound system or the Covox Sound Master, which is not emulated.
