Trying to deploy one I bought long long ago at an estate sale and the installation floppy 3.5" drive is unreadable.

Does anyone have a driver for this? I don't see one on vogonsdrivers.

There's a 5.25" disk as well but I don't have a drive handy at the moment. If anyone would be willing to attempt to read the drives for me i'll be more than happy to send them off!

This looks like same thing: http://web.archive.org/web/19990427043413/htt … resselhaus.com/
you can DL the drivers off their archive, http://web.archive.org/web/19990422180630/htt … pport/page2.htm
only the DOSFILER.ZIP is not found.....

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Excellent, I didn't think to check wayback machine.

Looks like exactly what I wanted. I have a whole bunch of these things, figured i might as well try to see how they work. The file transfer part of it is intriguing as well, could be a decent rudimentary network for some vintage machines...

Maybe you can have someone read the 5.25" floppies and get that DOS Filer app (unless it is also in the Win3x filer also).
from their website: "Free file transfer software.
The SmartPrint Starter Kit includes software for transferring files of any size from one computer to another. File transfer software included in the SmartPrint Starter kit is a DOS utility.
We have Windows 95/98 file transfer software available in our Support section online." which can be downloaded, just not the DOS version.
Would be nice to get all and post to Vogon's library since the only place any of it is currently found is on archive.....

I downloaded everything I could, and scraped their support page to PDFs also. I'll submit it to vogonsdrivers. Missing DOSFILER and an HP Deskjet 500 updated fixed driver, those links don't seem to have been archived...
