Hello, I can't start the game too.
I am skilled in computer science but I've found no methods to start the game, because I can't find the .exe or the .com or the .bat !

I unzip the motorcity.zip in the \CDRIVE folder under the DOSBox installation.
Then, I can see only two .exe files: a setup.exe and a idmas.exe.
In a DOSBox prompt, I launch setup.exe and it works perfectly but it's needed just to setup the sound card.
When I try the idmas.exe it keeps asking me "On which drive you have installed MOTOR CITY? (C,D,E..):".

There is no way to continue, even typing any letter.

I loved Detroit and Motor City, and I'd happy if anyone can kindly help me.
Thanks.

Now, years later, I had the same problem. Driving me nuts.
Turns out that my unpacker under linux unpacked it incorrectly and did not preserve directory structure correctly.
Once I fixed it, everything worked fine. Just one letter (usually C) will do.

There should be only few files under root and most of them under GFX and LEVEL
