If I remember correctly, Windows 2000 install files are 8.3 so long file name support is not required. And for lfn files I would either transfer them over the network or use zip files to contain the lfn. I use info-zip punzip when I fiddle with Windows 2000. I remember in school that we installed w

Before Windows 2000, even in Windows 95, FAT32 was introduced with supported for longer filenames than the 8.3 limit of Dos 6.22. Fast forward to Freedos 1.2 and the need to use freedos to copy a Windows 2000 installation to an external hard drive. I have the Panasonic usb driver and another sys

Hi again, so far I do not know which problem you have with the Agilent device and how you plan to resolve that. Doing network analysis with a Windows 2000 PC with special added signal processing and other hardware is something which you can NOT easily switch over to a different operating system.

To make copies I use Ghost 2001 and the famous Panasonic dos usb driver. You should be able to boot up with the floppy and copy to usb flash. Later versions of Ghost were big duds. Copied 32 gigs yesterday; took 5 hours. Plan for a long coffee break. cheers DS On Wed, 08 May 2019 15:04:49 +

The Agilent e5061a belongs to the company I'm working for and is only two channel. The Agilent e5071b belongs to another company, is four channel, and anything we do to it has to be non intrusive because it is in production. Does anyone know as far as Linux if the Intel video card is supported?
