We have many 2/3/486 boxes (FREE - whats this $75 thing) running mirror II under DOS 6.2
They are not running WENDERS, so they just don't crash. Mirror II will run in "background" so you can copy the collected smdr to a floppy when needed. We update the Bios to one that supports IDE hd autodetect and put the hd in a removeable cart, and keep a fresh formatted ready-to-run hd next to it. Once a year we swap the hd so we can CD the smdr and test the hd for reuse. We replace the 818 cmos chip with a Dallas Semi replacement, eliminating the cmos battery and rtc problems. (10 yr batt) Need failproof capture - easy, use a second machine next to the first running same thing with a split rs 232 cable. HD and PS are failure modes, not likely on both machines at the same time. -larry > > Why not connect a computer to the RS-232 ? > > > > Computers any only $75.00 now ! > 1) They are tight on space.
