Re: Okay but did you ever PURCHASE WinRAR?

I was delighted when I was helping my son out with a computer problem and he had installed winrar instead of 7zip.

I finally got around to tinkering with 4book, surprisingly it works REALLY well with my HP 6001 smart tank printer. Only problem is that it's NOT Y2K AWARE. The date/time on the cover page is 5/3/124 !!! UNUSABLE.

Looking for 4print and 4book DOS utilities
Posted on 2024-04-04, 02:07
I printed out many documentation files using those applications and I'd like to track them down. It seems rather hard to find them; most modern search engines seem to be DETERMINED I meant "book" rather than "4book". It's absolutely infuriating how dumbed down Google and Bing are compared to the old …

A 360K floppy drive can do 10 or 11KB per second, assuming the head doesn't have to move. SLIP at 115,200 is good for at most 10KB/sec, while compressed SLIP might do better depending on your CPU speed and the data being transferred. So yes, it might be faster than the floppy. The next version of …

I'll try your patched version but slipper driver did work, so far at least. It also seems a bit faster than my gotek floppy drive at 115200, it's honestly quite usable locally. It'll definitely fill in a few gaps in my setup, like when I want to PRINT and have network access at same time! It's hard …

Forget all of that, I think I figured it out. Are you using ETHERSL.COM? If so, that's the problem. I query the packet drive to get the MAC address, which in this case is simulated. But what it gives me when a packet arrives doesn't match what it told me so I never recognize it in the device driver …

Eh, no go locally either. Same behaviour. I shall tinker for a bit with some things, like MTU, and try from different machines.

Ok, trying again because I'm tired of re-editing ... Somebody with a 286 Toshiba laptop was able to make it work at 115,200, but they were probably using a local server. The timeout is 1 second, and you get 2 retries before the device driver reports a timeout to DOS. Even on a slower 8088 at 115, …

Doesn't seem to be workign with an ESP8266-based SLIP network connection on my t1k, but using xircom parallel nic works fine. netdrive looks basically identical on execution except that "Next hop address: FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF" for the SLIP connection vs. an actual mac address for xircom, followed by an …
Anyone know how to get a version 6 oldnet serial wifi adaper working with SLIP?
Posted on 2024-02-02, 04:48
All the documetnation on SLIP mode seems to refer to older hardware versions and don't work with version 6. I can't find any contact info for the developer other than "ask a question" on tindie.com. Any idea how to get this going?

I stockpile beige ATX cases, ATX desktop format cases of any color, and I amassed quite a number of single board Teknor computers a while back, 386/486/pentium MMX/P3 pretty much in bulk. I also will retain any expansion cards I come across since they take up very little space overall. The SBC …

There are SLIP compatible serial to wifi adapters out there. They're not real fast, generally limited to whatever your com port can provide, but if all you're doing is tinkering with telnet, bbsing, or copying files it's very much usable. Sergey Kiselev has a floppy/com port combo project you can …
