It just dawned yesterday that I do not really know what a driver _is_. A little bit of data on a disk. It "comes" with the device, in this case a Mitsumi CD Rom Drive. Win finally gave up the game. Format & reload time. Never should have let it go so long. DOS cannot now "see" that drive. A 12 cent 3.5" corrupted disk prevents reloading. Which holds up a major web site redesign project--22 items on an order form, auto credit card system, $20K in art inventory to sell and dead in the water. But FBSD can see it. Does anyone know: Is there a way to copy the driver to /dos and make it work there? Which means to say, any file can be copied to /dos, but I don't even know what file it would be in the absence of the absolute path name. It came as a revelation, also, that I could even work on /dos/windows/desktop files in FBSD, but this has come as a real shock. Anyone?
