Datastor EPP Parallel Port to ATA/ATAPI Adapter - Windows 95 Driver Reviews

you have no access to a CD ROM reader out there in an adapter, which access you need to install your operating system from a CD disk. This program makes the parellel port CD ROM be recognized as (drive d ). If you are stuck in DOS, run the "INSTL.exe" as it is made for DOS, whereas you could use the "INSTALL.EXE" if Windows is already running. First UNZIP the file, perhaps by changing the extension to ".zip" as it IS zipped even though the file now ends in '.exe'. Then copy ALL your resultant files to a floppy if you are going to work on a different computer. BEFORE running this program make sure that MSCDEX.EXE already exists on your hard drive (c ). If it does not, you can probably copy it from some start-up disk to c . ALSO create a new and empty file AUTOEXEC.BAT because this program will want to write to it and if it does not find you will probably see a "source file not found" warning box and things will still not function properly. You can make such an empty file by using EDIT. Go into the directory for c and get the dropdown menu under "File" chose "New" then write the name AUTOEXEC.BAT (nothing more) and save it. Exit EDIT and then recheck the Directory of c to make sure that the new file is really there. Now run INSTL.EXE and after a while you should see a screen advising you that "d " is available and you can now use it to load Windows from the CD. On rebooting you MIGHT see a line telling you that "no valid CDROM drivers have been loaded", but wait a while and that goes away and the boot proceeds normally."
