Does anyone know how to get networked DOS drives (peer to peer) in Win 95 in MS-dos mode? I have successfully mapped network drives within Win 95 but would like to be able to do it in true "DOS" mode. How do you set up the PAR drive to work within Win 95? It shows up on the "My Computer" list of resources, but the directory structure is the same as the system hard drive (C:). Many thanks, Cal Rodgers

It looks to me as though the PAR driver software is _totally_ incompatible with Win95. If you do ever find a way to get it working please let me know. Thanks, P.

Paul, I have the PAR working in the Win 95 "DOS" mode and also have it launchable from within Win 95. I just haven't been able to get it to recognize the PAR drive in the "My Computer" listing correctly. This also means it won't work in the media player. Is your PAR not working at all? Are you loading the PAR driver in your Autoexec.bat or separate batch file? Is anyone using RAZOR under Win 95? Nothing like a new OS to screw up productivity…for at least a week or so. Cal

Oh sure I can get it working in Win95's DOS mode, but I can't get it working under Windows itself, so no Razor, no MCIPAR, etc etc. Do DPS have a BBS somewhere ? Maybe there are updated drivers available. > Nothing like a new OS to screw up productivity…for at least a > week or so. Win95 is hardly new…. I hope you're right about that 'week or so'. P.
