Doug, I have them, but I don't have a 5 1/4 inch drive in house. Give me a call.

I am looking for the MapInfo DOS v5.0 Drivers Disk 1. I have a registered copy of MI 5 DOS, but a virus has destroyed one file "MAPINFO.XYZ " on Disk 1 of 2 of the Drivers Disk set. I emailed Support at MapInfo to get a copy of the effected file, but they indicated that the program was too old to be supported. The two 5 1/4 Floppies contain a spanned zip file. Floppy 1 of 2 contains these five files: MAPINFO.10 1 kb 6/4/1991 10:59 AM MAPINFO.11 1 kb 6/4/1991 10:59 AM MAPINFO.90 1 kb 6/4/1991 10:59 AM MAPINFO.100 1 kb 6/4/1991 10:59 AM MAPINFO.XYZ 366 kb 6/4/1991 10:59 AM The 366 kb file was destroyed. It is the first part of the spanned zip file. Floppy 2 of 2 contains the file: DRIVERS.ZIP 354 kb 6/3/1991 8:33 PM This file is the second part of the spanned zip file and it is intact. When I try opening this ZIP file with WinZip 8, I get the error message "Please insert the last disk of the multivolume set and click Ok to continue". When I try opening the Zip file with the PKUnzip file that comes with MI DOS, it tells me to fix it with PKZipFix and will not proceed. I suspect that if I even had the 1991 version of PKZipFix,I would get additional info that points to the corrupted file on disk 1. Also, this file may only contain the drivers while the corrupted file on disk 1 contains the code that allows MI DOS to build the CGI.CFG file. I need to find a copy of the corrupted file in order to set up the hardware configuration file CGI.CFG (Computer Graphics Interface.Configuration). When MI 5.0 DOS is started, MI calls on this file for device driver information. According to the manual, CGI.CFG contains instructions on how to load drivers for input. output, printer, metadata, and plotter. I would try to build a CGI.CFG file by hand with a text editor if I knew how it was constructed. I do know that it has to be in "MI \DRIVERS\" or the autoexec.bat file must contain the environment variable "SET CGIPATH=" pointing to the DRIVERS directory on the hard drive. This is in the owners manual. Unfortunately, the owners manual does not contain information on what the file should look like. If you have a copy of this file (MAPINFO.XYZ 366 kb) or know where I may get it, I will surely appreciate your help. If you have an older or newer version (e.g. 4.5 or 5.5) of MI DOS with a drivers disk set, that also may work! If you know how the CGI.CFG file is supposed to look, that would be helpful. Thanks.
