Long time ago, I had an orinoco card that was 802.11b that was supposed to
work with DOS. Could never get it to work, eventually threw it out in
frustration.
Some very good and interesting suggestions have been made. However, I
believe the cheapest/easiest may be a simple wireless bridge. An
IMO, ISA is a better option for truly vintage machines. I think if someone
combined the ideas PiModem/Wifi232, Pi Virtual Floppy [0], and ISA8019 [2]
(which is an NE2000!), then that would be the ideal. An ISA card powered
by a Pi Zero W that could emulate a Floppy/HDD/CD-ROM/DVD-ROM and provide
Hi! Eric
as for the wi-fi I have solved the problem in an empirical
way: I have long bought
a TP-Link TPL-MR3020 mini router which
detects available wireless networks and which
has an ethernet port to
which I can connect my laptop .
It also has the possibility to connect

Thanks for the links, Louis :-)
While the price could be a lot lower, the

DOS did networking a lot better with ISA and some PCI NICS. WiFi came
after DOS was no longer being developed. There might be some 900MHz
WaveLAN things that work for DOS if the point is to make a machine
connected wirelessly.
If the machine has serial you might consider a Wifi232[0] or one of

This meant "USB dongles which serve as WiFi or Bluetooth modems
have no DOS drivers"
Simon,
I can read from a USB stick without any extra tricks, as long as it is
inserted before booting (which usually means I have to make sure the
bios is set to boot from disk 1st; I find it easier to write the files
to the Freedos disk from inside Windows, if I need to do that).
However, I'm
