Yes there is, but I can't help there. Others will jump on that I guess.
I use direct cable connection and Dos to copy the cd to the hard disk of the laptop. Direct cable connection from lpt1 to lpt1 on the laptop and a dos boot disk that has the line "device= path intersvr.exe" in config.sys and "intersvr.exe" in autoexec.bat for the laptop Later when windows is running the program direct cable connection will allow me to copy more from cd's to the laptop. But that's just my way, I don't like floppies and do like Dos. "hammy" wrote in message ... Hi, I have a laptop with a floppy drive and no cd/rom drive. I want to install win 95.

Oops Cable at your local computerstore for about $15-$20 Special cable with
one crossed connection. Could even be made at home, but I forgot how, Google will help there. "win98 fan " wrote in message ... Yes there is, but I can't help there. Others will jump on that I guess.

You need *GOOD QUALITY* floppies for this to work.

The CONFIG.SYS line loads a *.SYS file (not an EXE file) and I think AUTOEXEC.BAT loads the EXE of the complementary file. MS's DOS manual approx. 1990 had an important error or omission so there was in the 1990s a public domain help article (written by me) on how to use InterLink . . . that may still exist somewhere. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Dos version 6.22 as far as I can remember. But now you make me wonder, Old Timers already? So I check it and ? Oops just checked it on the last one I installed that way So config.sys on the server end(the one without a cd drive) has the line "device=A:\interlnk.exe" no interlnk.sys needed there or even on the disk. Of course Windows doesn't like the all dos program so the one with the cd drive has to start in MSDos and the driver for the CD loaded. Then just type "intersvr" with the proper path of course and you see the other computers disks and can copy what ever you like if you have lots of time. Fast is different |
