There is something else you could try. The DOSbox Daum Cafe
http://ykhwong.x-y.net/cvs/frame.html
provides a front end for DOSbox
which many people find very helpful. There is a new build as of July
30th. I tried an older build with the last DOSbox (not the newest
one) and it shortened the load time for Daggerfall dramatically. It
also made Daggerfall unstable and I experienced a lot of crashes, but
that may not be true now.
