Hey everyone!
The users that helped me may remember, but for the new entries, I'm using 
FreeDOS 1.2 on a machine to create a clone system to a 1987 IBM PS/2 computer, 
in order to make it work with a metal analyzer and have a newer and more 
reliable system.
The floppy drive on the IBM came back to life, and I was able to retrieve all 
the data on 7 1.44mb floppy disks. I copied everything on the FreeDOS machine 
and the program works!
But... there are some issues with the serial ports. I am trying to figure out 
the issue, but I guess the serial port on the clone system is too fast for the 
metal analyzer hardware, and the software gets stuck on a "Configuring ICS..." 
screen that on the IBM lasts about 3 seconds and then launches the full program.
Can someone help me on this? I tried exploring the MODE command, but I couldn't 
figure out much...
Also, big news, I was able to copy all the data on a USB stick thanks to 
FreeDOS (It is supported natively? I did not know that!) so all my data is 
secure now! That was my main concern.

Thanks everyone for the future replies!
Greetings from Italy
