there is a problem with the install script.
besides the fact that I still prefer curl over wget if I could get it. it's
much more flexible (handles a huge number of different protocols including ftp,
https, etc) and the code doesn't contain things I don't like.
If I could port curl over to freedos, I would.
I had to rewrite the batch file to make it work on windows xp to download the
drivers.

http://www.apcir.com doesn't respond anymore.
this series of card hasn't been around for ages. so I guess they dropped the
driver for this ISA card? or the domain is all wrong (I thought it was
adaptec.com?). I thought a similar driver might be available elsewhere on the
internet MAYBE.
unfortunately, I have not found replacement drivers.
the drivers are as labelled, EOL (End Of Life). Adaptec has upgraded past DOS
in version 5.0. the ez-scsi version you want is version 3.0 IF you can get it.
only thing I found were on adaptec.com were patches.
The scsi controllers associated with it are the AHA-1542 or AHA-2940.
ez-scsi is a licensed product.

Note: disk size is measured in MB, GB, or TB, not in MiB, GiB, or TiB.
computer memory (RAM) is measured in MiB and GiB.

Since the USB drivers available at the time the package was created
could not be redistributed, the package simply contained an install
script which would download the drivers from the internet. If you
don't have a network card configured for FreeDOS, or don't have wget
installed, the package is indeed useless
