As far as I remember, those provide sector based connection of FAT partitions through a serial or printer port cable: As long as your sector size is 512 bytes, that should probably work. Note that you only have those tools if you already own MS DOS anyway and that the tools only support FAT16 and maybe FAT12, but not FAT32. You could also use the drive-over-cable feature in the free FileMaven (FM3) file manager instead of using interlnk and intersvr. The latter two require at least MS DOS 3.0 and 2.11, respectively, according to MS KB item 502282 on the support.microsoft.com website - should be ok. For more modern connectivity, you could also use FTP, SCP (see SSH) and SMB (using the DOS port of smbclient) or of course solutions on the basis of (HTTP or not-too-new-HTTPS) websites. However, all of those have in common that you use a client tool rather than making one drive on one computer visible as an actual drive on the other. For making drives directly visible, the modern solution would be to run DOS in a virtual environment: There is a DOS driver for client drives in VMware http://www.freedos.org/software/?prog=vmsmount and if you use the DOSEMU or DOSBOX environments, making host directories visible as drives visible from DOS is even a built-in feature which does not require any additional drivers on the DOS side :-) FileMaven 3.5a is closed source freeware with laplink style transfer and support for ZIP and others: http://www.briggsoft.com/fmdos.htm Cheers, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
