It works fine under DOS. It also works under the 102095 SNAP floppy (or at least it was able to newfs filesystems and the like). I would very much like to be able to install a new set of drivers without upgrading the OS. The machine in question is a production news server and taking it down is bad enough... doing an upgrade at the same time would be rather painful. Is there any way I could just upgrade the driver? (which files do I need?) Thanks for any suggestions, ...
