Hi, Will the original American Revolt 3.5 in. floppy disk work with the GOG version of
Syndicate?
I think yes. It will normaly install into it effectively turn your GOG version into American Revolt version. Just edit gog conf file to stop autorun and exit game. Run it and mount your floppy (mount a A: -t floppy probably, look at Dosbox docs) and run install and point it to root of dosbox C disk. Should work.

Thanks for the nfo. I never really used DOSBox before, but I will definitely try it.
I managed to copy American Revolt off of Syndicate Plus CD to another directory (AR) within GOG installation (moved DATADISK to DATA and copied over new MAIN.EXE as DOS4GW.EXE and INTRO.EXE are the same). Then I just modified "start in" value in copy of a shortcut link to new directory (AR) so I can run normal Syndicate or Syndicate AR. Futhermore I managed to enable networking with installation of Novell Netware DOS client and modification of autoexec section of dosboxSyndicate.conf to read like this:

[autoexec]
@echo off
mount C "."
c:
cls
ipx true
#start server on one machine only, other clients should comment it and use ipxnet connect
ipxnet startserver 213
#clinets should use this line, be sure to add proper ip of the server
#ipxnet connect 172.16.32.64
.\nios\netbios
@main >nul: /iirq7 /idma1 /iio$220 /c0
exit

Raveer, I'm a noob when dealing with DOSBox. Can you please explain to me what the [Mount C "." ] actually does? TIA

It mounts the directory DOSBox executable was called from as the C drive. In normal conditions, that equals the DOSBox directory.
