Looking for open source replacement of INTERLNK and INTERSVR (Developers)

posted by Ruud Homepage, Heerlen - NL, 29.06.2023, 12:00

Hello,

I work a lot older PCs that run various DOSes like MS-DOS and DR-DOS. For copying files between them I used to equip my PCs with network cards and exchanged files using Netware Lite. But the not having enough cards meant that installing and removing the network cards was not worth the effort compared to the gain.

Then I switched INTERLNK/INTERSVR if the DOSes were right, to UFO, an equivalent of LapLink, or I used CF cards if the system is equipped with XT-IDE.

UFO and LapLink are meant to be used on the original LPT ports that can only use four bits to exchange data. I turned some of these old cards in IBM PS/2 compatible bi-directional cards and I'm writing a program for it, partly Pascal, partly ML. But if possible, I want to have the same functionality as when using INTERLNK/INTERSVR.

My question: did someone pioneer in this area and are other programs available that can run under various DOSDes and preferably as open source?

Thank you very much in advance!
