Robert,
It might very well be that the ROMs are fixed to their drive assignment on
the Attache. That's why assign.com is not present. You can check this
version:
https://vetusware.com/download/MS-DOS%202.11%20for%20Otrona%20Attache%202.1…
...to see if you're copy is missing assign.com for some reason.

I already have the Otrona MS-DOS 2.11 disks from Don Maslin's archive, but (as I
forgot to mention), I do not have a modern computer with a 360KB floppy drive. I have an
old Dell Precision T3400, but its BIOS will only allow 1.2MB 5.25 floppies.
The version from the Maslin Archive and both my original Otrona MS-DOS 2.11d disks (from
1983) and the MS-DOS-2.11 2.11e disks that I downloaded from FAUG after Otrona went out of
business do not include Assign or Subst. However, the 2.11e disk includes support for a
hard drive, so I believe that it can handle a C: drive.
I received a copy of Assign from MS-DOS 2.1 from another list member, so I have asked him
if he can copy it to a floppy that I can send him.

I'm trying to copy files off my Otrona
Attache 8:16 using FastLynx 3.3,
but I keep getting an error 708 when trying to push SL.EXE to the Otrona
over the serial port. I am wondering if the reason for the error is that
the Otrona does not have a C: drive. Therefore, I would like to try to use
Assign.com to assign C: to A:, but the Attache version of MS-DOS 2.11 does
not include Assign.com. Does anyone have a copy of the MS-DOS 2.11 version
of Assign.com they can send me?
Thanks,
Robert Feldman
