Oh, there is a new version of MS DOS out: Version 6.0! Let us upgrade from version 5.0!
And MS DOS 6 comes with memmaker, to free up that conventional memory! It worked pretty well, I would say!
Oh look! I am on the internet! And after that test, I even got DNS working!
And I have access to my Linux Mint iMac, and can move files back and forth. This makes it so much easier than juggling floppies...
@root42 what were you using to share files ? I did something similar yesterday where I setup a little Flask web app to share a directory to my Quadra.
@slaine samba. It comes with every Linux… you need to dumb it down a bit for Windows 3.11, but works. Totally insecure, but works.
@root42 assumed it would be samba but figured you’d have more hoops to jump through.
@slaine there are some blog posts for the settings. You have to go down to NT1 and core protocols, because WfW3.11 is so old. And best not to use passwords.
@root42 cool thanks. I have an old gateway Pentium I’m working on and figured this might come in handy once it’s up and running.
