Hi Bret, Of course most human problems can be avoided with good organization and procedures. Most of my file exchanging needs could be aggregated into blocks I could schedule. But I'd prefer to avoid such ultra-organization during my hobby time :) Anyway, there's one very specific case that I

I guess I'll jump into this ... We have a DOS network (Little Big LAN - excellent) which connects our DOS computers. One of the nodes is a computer in my office running DOS and Linux (Ubuntu). Normally this computer is booting into the DOS partition. We have backup routines (batch files)

mTCP provides three options: - an FTP client for DOS. Not point and click user friendly, but it does what it is supposed to do. - HTGET for downloading a file from an HTTP server - an FTP server for DOS. This allows you to use a graphical FTP client on another machine. For when I want real

Usb and flash chips work well on DOS. Load your files on a flash chip. A little work in moving the chip around but should work unless you don't have usb. cheers DS On Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:23:41 +0200 Mateusz Viste mate...@viste.fr writes: Hello, That's a question to those of you who happen to

Re: [Freedos-user] How do you transfer files to your FreeDOS machine

In my case, the FreeDOS box is an ancient notebook that multi-boots Win2K Pro, a couple of flavors of Linux, and FreeDOS. Getting stuff on the FreeDOS slice is a copy and paste from Win2K or Linux. __ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519

Is there any documentation included with the FA511 driver? Using PCMCIA cards under DOS often required some socket services crap to be installed. I had a network card working under DOS on a Toshiba of that era. I'll look in my backups and see if I still have the files and/or config.sys On

PCMCIA slots were never directly supported by any DOS. But the OEM DOS drivers will allow you the use of one piece of hardware in one slot. It also appears you're following some ODI guide [1]. What does your NET.CFG look like? What version of the driver are you using? It looks like version
