Sorry. I'm starting to realize my temporal sense of PC hardware and

something that is too old to support Microsoft's TCP/IP drivers or ZIP
drives and whatnot) and realize now I am ignorant.
Oh well, when I have time to experiment with this stuff then I will, but
for now there's work to be done ;)

yeah
run DOS 3.30 on a stock AT. Install Bernoulli and
ZIP100 (parallel port, using GUEST.EXE)
Use XCOPY (available 3.20 on)
