Hi, I need to help a friend with a very old machine still using floppies (12 inches original floppies). I think it would be possible to connect two computers via serial PORT and appropriate cable (a LapLink cable) using an old DOS command that I am unable to remember or find. Thanks to this command two DOS machines can see each other files and then copy them. I hope, in this way to be able to tranfer those old files to a more modern support. Thank you very much for your help, Massimo ([email PROTECTED])I think the command you are looking for is INTERLNK, which works in conjunction with INTERSVR.  They came STANDARD with DOS 6.x.I found some more information here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/archive/msdos/comm5.mspx ... you have to scroll down the page a ways.Thank you.
Considering the type of floppy my friend has, I fear that its DOS version is earlier than DOS 6.0. I have to add that this command does not ring a bell in my brain so the command should be older and different. And, if not already INSTALLED in the system I do not see any way to do so. Thank you very much anyway, I will continue digging in my memory and Internet.
Thank you, Massimo
