I was just pondering that one too and you beat me to it :)
I believe there's even a version of tar that'll work on versions of DOS
that old, although zip would probably seem the most sensible for a DOS
to DOS transfer.
Sellam already knows laplink works at that speed. The only detail we
haven't got (unless I missed it) is how much free disk storage there is
on the machine hosting the Bernoulli drive - if there's no local space
free then it's a good reason for having to do a file-by-file transfer
straight off the Bernoulli...
So, does anyone know of a very simple serial port
file transfer
program that I can use to do remote file copies?
ZIP or ARC the disk into a
single file and transfer it with kermit? Install an old NE2000 or WD8013 network card and
NCSA-Telnet. Run the
NCSA ftp server and use ncftp or wget recursive ftp-get options on the
other side. More work, but faster then serial link.
I suspect that less work on behalf of the human is the goal, and never
mind if it takes an hour or a day to actually transfer by itself :)
(I remember shunting a copy of Win95 across to my old laptop via
interlink once - boy was it slow!)
