| Reply "Dos On Mac" PDS card drivers | |
| Posted by: Renegade on 2022-09-16 00:16:05 Hi, Found a nice surprise in a recently acquired PM7100: a Reply "Dos On Mac" PDS card . The seller included the orignal set of 3 drivers disks*, however this version (1.03) is quite outdated and I'm searching for more recent ones... Archive.org also has a mirror of the files available on Reply's website back in the days, but the DOM109.HQX file is strangely missing from the archive. By any chance, has someone still a more recent set of disk dimages for this card ? * That I posted here on Mac Garden | |

PC Setup for PC Compatibility Card - Macintosh GardenSoftware necessary to setup and use Apple's PC Compatibility Cards. Contains installers for the Macintosh (disk 1) and Windows (disk 2) desktop environments. See stevenh's guide for installation and setup assistance. See also oliver-schubert.com/DOScard/DOScard.html
Not something I have experience with though. | |

| Posted by: Renegade on 2022-09-17 02:44:52 Well, turns out that none of them work with Reply card*. Nor does the 2.x version from Fraser Valley Distributed Computing Systems. The card work just fine with the 1.03 control panel I have. However I'd like to test with a more mature version... Still searching. *Juste like @Dandu wrote on his blog years ago... | |
| Posted by: Phipli on 2022-09-17 02:56:21 Sorry about that. There was a chance. I've only used Houdini 2 variants sorry. | |
| Posted by: Trash80toHP_Mini on 2022-09-17 07:56:54 I have the double-decker version installed in my 6290. ISTR having downloaded drivers for it over ten years ago. Not the same board, but that file may be? | |
| Posted by: jeremywork on 2022-09-17 14:45:21 It seems for whatever reason the link for 'DOM109.hqx' was changed to point to the main tech support page (the one it's already on) prior to creating the archive, but the prior snapshot does have a real link and file. Hope that helps! Also, assuming yours is one of these: https://arvutimuuseum.ee/th99/v/P-R/52233.htm I believe @Nathan_A has a couple up and running and may know more in regards to compatible software versions. | |
| Posted by: Renegade on 2022-09-17 23:30:49 Thank you @jeremywork . I'll give this version a try asap. Yes, my card appears to be the version shown on the page you linked. | |
