Ya know......come to think of it - Fushigi had this thing pretty well pegged from the beginning - only I focused on the ISA comment he made, rather than the parallel port comment..... (This was just a P.S.) Thanks Todd

Ok - I think the problem is solved - possibly so simple it's silly. Just got off the phone with a guy from the office - he said he's got DOS drivers for an external ZIP drive that'll run through the parallel port. Could it really be that simple? Plug in the Iomega and I'm done? I'll find out...

Here's new info - the drive is running on a WD1002-27X controller. I found a spec sheet (with swith settings!) at embeddedlogic.com. I've never heard of that site, but they had the info!! Basically this is an ISA card that will handle two RLL drives - the data bus is 8-bit PC/XT. Any chance...

I guess the file transfer would be the good old copy command, now that I think about it - just have to name the drive, I guess. Duh! Todd

The machine has dos 3.3 installed (don't have any disks for that, though!) Are there any reference materials for networking between dos and win 98 or win xp? like how to actually make the file transfer? Thanks Todd

Fushigi Ok - I have an ISA slot open in the 400MHz machine (Win 98) - you said I may only be able to run DOS on it? Meaning that to copy the files I have to do it from the C prompt? Thanks! Todd

More info on the Sanyo The computer has an 8088 chip. It also has an RS232C port. And it does run - I had it powered up this evening before I ripped it open to see what made it run. (While I have an amber monitor (monochrome) running on the thing, it appears that it will take a color...

I happen to be the proud owner of a Sanyo Model MBC-16 Plus 1 personal computer. (Well, I was.) The Sanyo has been in a box for better than five years (yes, I was still using it 5 years ago - 1998). I've moved from the 8MHz Sanyo (switchable to 4.7MHz!!) to my present 2.66GHz box. (In 1998...
