I now have my Sandisk so it boots to DOS. So if my HD files are in good shape, I can repair the system.
But if I am missing some files or whatever...I have no way to get files into the Iopener.
So is there a way, either using a USB ethernet connector...or perhaps a Direct Cable Connection...
connect using DOS on the Iopener and transfer files.
OR
Is there a way to hook up a USB CD-R and access files under DOS.
While there are several DOS usb stacks, none are free or shareware, and there are no DOS drivers for USB network cards. (or anything else USB for that matter.) a parallel port cd drive would be much more practical; install the drivers on the sandisk and you're on your way;
I have an application where an iO will run DOS from the sandisk, with no hard drive installed. I need to allow the user the ability to update the files on the sandisk...very infrequently. Is there a way to allow a win box to connect, via serial or parallel, to allow the files to be updated? I can install a DOS client if required, but I'd like to do it without requiring common clients to be installed on both machines.
Is there any native support within DOS for simple serial/parallel communications?
There are a large number of freeware programs out there for this purpose, and several commercial packages.. Laplink was once a popular one; give it a search and find what you like.
I use LL3.exe (Lap Link) and it works fine. I think this was the last freeware version of lap link. It uses the parallel or serial port in dos or a dos window.
