Serge, I agree with Gary, there's too much negative stuff in the world. If it was your TV you'd turn it off. The same with a useless reply. Everyone who keeps too high a profile for too long eventually gets clobbered. Developers probably the worst. So stay cool and keep…
Anne, This infomercial as you put it, regarding Novell DOS 7 is directed at those who would like to keep their R4 dongle busy on a seperate DOS machine while being fully network compatible with Max on NT. If that isn't worth a little fan fare I don't know what…
Its definitely worth checking out if you plan to keep some DOS machines on line. Alex
#Best Kept Secret???
Message #193428
32 bit protected mode Networking? DOS Preemptive Multi-tasking? Peer to Peer with NT, Win95, Win 3.11? Not in this lifetime! Guess what? And its cheap, less than $50. Alex
Mike, >> big fish gets distorted…
Don, >> more bad news.
\\\. ========================= >-===– >-==*- / Are you a big fish going after the little fish? I think with 3DS'ers its the other way around. Alex
Don, >> I hope DPS or MicroSoft come up with a fix pretty soon.
Don, PARVCR.EXE does not fully work on my system but PAR.EXE does. The problem with PARVCR is that it can't write to the Master drive. The problem is also apparent in Explorer where both the root and master directories appear identical. In PAR.EXE I can see the correct directory and…
Hi Jack, Sorry to say I don't have a solution as I have neither. Just a straight PAR. One interesting thing I ran across that may help you track down some unresolved problems is Win 95 on my system allocates an IRQ and host drive for an IDE/ESDI standard controller.…
Don,
Don, >> let things the way they are…
Don, I have both the PAR and PARVCR working fine in Win 95. I'm curious to know how your setup is different than mine. This is what I did to install it and it was quite straightforward. I had it setup for DOS, so that it would run in DOS…
#Win 95 and DOS Network
Message #190159
Hey Don, As things were left in a bit of scramble, some clarification is in order. There is a way with MSDOS.SYS to set up Win 95 so that it either boots to Win 95 or DOS straight. I've spent some time with WFDOS and if you use the Basic…
What a disaster! No you don't want to follow the advice I recieved from Win 95 support! They said it would be no problem. WRONG. I spoke with WFDOS tech support after messing up all my net files and they said the *only* way to do it was as a…
#Win 95 and DOS Network
Message #189809
The question of how to best implement a DOS/Win 95 network came up recently and this solution seems to be the best one going so I thought I'd pass it along. There is a Microsoft Workgroup Add-on for MS-DOS which allows a DOS machine to talk to Windows 3.11 WFW,…
Don, Likewise, thanks for the tip on the Fireball, its a blistering fast. Can't beat the price either, at the cost of a Yost IPAS through Insight Tempe/Pheonix. Ciao, Alex
Hey guy, I've been watching your posts for awhile and especially appreciate the tip on the Quantum Fireball. Got a 1 gig on order. Here's a solution that's working great for me. I got Win 95 and a small routing hub. Its a Linksys with a feature adaptor to run…
