Cheryl: Here's my advice. If you can't read the C:> drive, forget it. Try to do what you need to do exclusively on A:. That should work. You have a bootable DOS floppy, and you know how to boot it. Strip any thing you don't need off that file in order to make enough room for the ps2 utilities. You can do all of this on Linux, as I'm sure you know, with mcopy, mdel, etc., etc. Once you execute a batch file to set the serial params, per my earlier message, reboot. Test to see if that port is working by using something silly like: echo "testing testing" >com1 It will probably sound like garbage because of the baud rate mismatch, but that doesn't matter. If it comes alive and starts chattering, you've enabled the serial port on the db9 port, and can start Installing Woddy.
