Can 755CX use MS-DOS and Win 3.11?
I just lost my entire 810MB harddisk to premature death. IBM has replaced
the drive, but the tech engineer did not put on operating system on it. I
killed my backup, because after 50MB, my Ethernet connection went
dead---stupid me---which means that I lost about 2 weeks of work.
I am now thinking about putting up a standard MSDOS with Win-3.11 (or
Windows for Workgroups) onto the machine (I would kill OS/2 anyway---I run
linux). BUT, I will still need
[1] the PS2 utility for getting into 100*37 text mode
[2] the 800*600 video driver under MS Windows
[3] the MWave drivers
So, will these work when I switch from PC-DOS to MS-DOS? Is there a site
where I can get a copy of the relevant files via the Internet (which one does
[2]? I know about [3].) ? I have been getting the 1-800 run-around from
IBM so far.
