 BP> And thusly Fred Cisin spake:

 FC> Which model is/was it?  here are several different formats
 FC> that were used, some of which can be read by some MS-DOS
 FC> machines.  (a little harder with Windoze)

 FC> more FACTUAL detail would help.
 FC> Is "Windows Genie" the model name for her machine?

Grin, no .. Fun with word play for a Windows system box!

 FC> Is THAT the model name? or just more flowery language to wade through

No .. Order of the Benevolent Infiniture of Brothers was just humor!

 FC> Have you TRIED??

Not yet .. After the call came to me, I posted here.  Now that I know a bit
more about the variations of these Brother machines and so on, I will get
her to send me a diskette and I'll see if it will mount.  All this is so
long ago with 720K floppies on OS/2 I'll just have to see.  If I can't as I
posted to another person kind enough to answer, I also have an old Zenith
ZVM386-25 with MS-DOS 5 on it and a 486-100AMD with MS-DOS 6.2 on it which
I am sure will see at least the 720K diskettes.  And SOMEWHERE in all the
pile of old stuff I even have a copy of UNIFORM for use with some kind of
DOS which I sorta recall may even mount 256K floppies and so on.

Thanks for your help and I'll post more when I find out more and which way
to go on the problem.

> same shut-down problems as Windoze98?

Just my tag line or sig line .. As an almost complete OS/2 site and still
very heavily involved in development on it, I've used it for years as the
debate rages on about what wlll happen to it...


--> Sleep well; OS/2's still awake! ;)
