I'm obliged to revise an earlier posting to this thread, mor precisely
my remarks on some driver for a parallel null-modem link - I then had
still the old DR-DOS.6 Filelink.exe in use (which is rather restricted):
since then, I installed DR-DOS 7.02 on different machines.
The newer DR-DOS 7+ "Filelink" is indeed much advanced, and allows
even use of parallel ports. One still has to set one unit as "master",
the other as "slave", but then it offers even directory listing on
both machines, and to copy files both ways - quite good already a a
rudimentary link system. It even does work with different versions
and DOSes (eg. between a '286/MSDOS-5 laptop and a '486/DR-DOS-7).
Only it says, on parallel port, that there is a wiring scheme for a
(null-modem-like?) cable "in the documentation" - Filelink.exe
contains a good built-in help, though the wiring is not indicated
there; and there is no additional doc file, or more info on the prog
elswhere. :(
Does someone knwo how to wire a cable between two idling LPT2 ports ?
