Re: Apple II file transfer (windows95 settings)

The difference is the way the different Windows deal with the
hardware. Win3 is just a graphical shell, whereas Win9x is a
32 bit OS on top of DOS. The problem comes from trying to
perform 16 bit functions in a 32 bit environment.

The solution, as mentioned is to boot to a pure Dos mode. It
should be noted, you can set Win 9x to work similarly to the
old Win3 by a simple modification to the msdos.sys file. Just
be aware, the file is set as read-only,system by default, but
it doesn't have to be. Here's the relevant section from one of
my PC's.

[Options]
BootMulti=1
BootGui=0
Logo=0

The line BootGui=0 will boot into Msdos 7, and a value of 1
will boot to Windows GUI. To get to Windows from here, just
type WIN on the command line, just like the old days. BTW, The
Logo=0 will turn off the Windows graphic which you see at start
up.
