Using an 8" drive on a PC (WAS RE: "Smartcom II" package available)

Chris, Actually, setting up MS LANMAN or client is pretty straight forward. I use them on my DOS systems to map a disk drive to my vintage systems. Check out MS KB Q122297 "Comparison of MS-DOS Clients for Windows NT Version 3.5" for system requirements between the two clients. -Ali -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Chris Osborn Sent: Sunday, September 21, 2014 1:21 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: Using an 8" drive on a PC (WAS RE: "Smartcom II" package available) On Sep 21, 2014, at 1:00 PM, Mark J.

I was sneakernetting things for a while with my 5150, but I've now got a boot floppy setup with mtcp tools so that I can get to ftp & telnet. What a difference that has made, being able to move files back & forth without getting up. Sometimes I'll ftp a file up to the server, edit it with emacs, and pull it back down just because I don't have a nice editor on the PC. I'm still wondering if there's a way to boot from a floppy and map a share to a drive letter on the PC. There seems to be a lot of stuff involved to make that work. -- Follow me on twitter: @FozzTexx Check out my blog: http://insentricity.com
