Larry: Could you provide a URL for Mirror II and/or WENDERS software?
I am trying to understand and find unix/linux/MacOS equivalents. A google search did not help me find anything useful. Thanks, Paul H. Gusciora, Ph.D., P.E. San Rafael, CA From: larry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: KX-T: Pollcat Wanted To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 18 Jul 2002 19:29:12 -0700 (PDT) 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.
