There is Netcat for DOS ... http://www.freedos.org/wiki/index.php/Netcat
And it can easily be used for printers that listen for "raw" connections on
port 9100.

I correct myself. I was using ide-cd.sys on another machine I was
working with a couple weeks ago. On this machine I have been using the
default uide.sys.
But pursuing the driver-as-a-suspect angle anyway, I found a Lite-on DOS
driver and installed that. CD playing now works. Thank you for t

In the past I had half a dozen machines with various ESS chipsets which
were (mostly) SB Pro compatible. Under DOS I would run ESSCFG followed by
ESSVOL, and maybe set a BLASTER environment variable (or did the utility
do that itself??? I can't remember) and then it would work. Check this

Parallel ports on a PC aren't much of a problem. PCI add-in cards with
parallel ports are available new, and there are probably hundr

I actually wrote about something like this 8 years ago. This is a trick
I was using to print files on my network printer from FreeDOS.

My printer is an old PCL 6 command language printer.
Just send it a simple PCL string and it will do anything
I want. New win printers have all their smarts removed
and placed in a windows file. Windows now does
what the inner works of the printer use to do. It
forces you to use windows.

I like to play cds with SJGPlay which is a great dos cd player.
I also use PV and quickview to watch home movies. They
work well on my desktop but not on the laptop unless Windows
is there. I'm running DOS on cf chips without Windows.
I could also could use a method to control screen resolution.

Possible, but the CD-sound card cable is a basic analog cable, so it's
really hard to connect it wrong. Often you have to enable the "CD" input
in your sound card mixer so the sound card actually listen
