I think I have an old CD containing a WANDD kit somewhere but I can't
seem to
put a hand on it right now.? I probably put it in a "safe place" :-(
I think messing with the kits isn't likely to produce a working system.
You need more than the driver to make everything work.
At the very least LES (Layered Environment Services) has to be available.
These manuals mention the DSV11 and DST32 but there is
no reference to
the
DSH32 anywhere.? The installation guide says the device driver for the
DST32
is ZSDRIVER.EXE so this seems to suggest that the DST32 and DSH32 are the
same thing or at least very similar.? Maybe there was a difference of
opinion
between the hardware people and the software people as to what it
should be
called :-)
I've found some notes that suggest that the DST32 and DSH32 both use the
same driver (ZSDRIVER, as you've found).
The other "busless" one was the DSW21/DSW41/DSW42.
I can't find a WANDD SPD either locally nor online, but (iirc) V1.2 was
Phase IV and certainly ran on V5.5-2.
A bunch of stuff changed radically in V6.0 so if there was a Phase IV
release for V6 then it would almost certainly have been post-V1.2.
