I have 6 XT2190s at home, and maybe one of the damn things works.

Yes, certainly heat is why these drives go onto a shelf working and come
off of it broken with servo and head amplifier problems at an astonishing
rate far higher than their contemporary brethren.
It also helps answer my questio

Thanks Terry, I need to get my DOS7.1/Win98 Dolch to speak USB, that will be
helpful, particularly the DOS portion. I got my Win98 networked to Win7, it's
not that hard *once you know* and works really well. You have to change one
entry in the Win7 registry and add one package from the unofficia

What sites still exist that have VMS software? I know the about the OpenVMS
Freeware CD’s from HP VMS Engineering.

As an example, I’ve found part of the old DECwindows archive, but it looks like
that site is basically gone.

I'd think that something from ~20 years ago is indeed vintage. (It's

I'd suggest that you redirect your question to the comp.os.vms
newsgroup. I frequently see discussions there about software

Yes, the files you speak of are config.dos and autoexec.dos. These

I recall using these drivers several years ago.
As I recall, the problem is that they're not amenable to hot-swapping.
That is, is you're using a USB flash drive with them, there was no code
that allowed you to remove the drive and substitute another without
rebooting.
Has this situation changed?

Back in the W98SE days I bought USB sticks that came with drivers, so W98 has
never been a problem.
Another approach for DOS if the system has 'boot from USB' capability is to
just make a bootable DOS7 USB stick.
Stick in: DOS, stick out: WIN98/XP/VISTA etc.; transfer files to heart's
content.
