Jerry,
No, I didn't clean the heads, or run a cleaning floppy in it. That still would solve the problem of none of my other boxes having 5 1/2" 1.2M floppy drives. I could have just bought some new drives. It really wasn't what I was after however. I have a feeling that what I am after is something along the lines of mounting /dev/lp as a file system. But I don't know so I figured I would ask. The laplink cable ought to work to linux, but I am clueless as to how to make it so.
Why not just hookup the serial ports? http://freshmeat.net/projects/rzsz/ or http://www.ohse.de/uwe/software/lrzsz.html which looks like an improved version. It won't be blinding fast but if all you want to do is transfer some files. The dos system would have to have a terminal program with rz/sz. What's intersrv any way? Nick
