Here's some good news for BlueSCSI/ZuluSCSI owners who want wireless networking in DOS and Win3.1x: Michael Brutman (author of mTCP) has taken my DaynaPORT DOS packet driver and greatly improved it! I'm using it to browse the web. Let's talk about how in a 🧵 here!

First, some context: several months ago, I started down the path to get my BlueSCSI working in DOS, and made a very alpha driver to do such. As per usual, I then abandoned the project 😂

Then, Michael found out about the project, and greatly improved upon it! There is a beta version that you can find here: . Although the driver is currently beta, it is very well written, and is working great for me!github.com/mbbrutman/dayn…

The driver will work as a standard packet driver in DOS and can be used by mTCP and WATTCP. I have definitely showcased mTCP in the past here, it's amazing software:

For today's experiment, I wanted to run under Win3.1x. So, first I loaded the dayna driver, then winpkt as you can see here. My Adaptec SCSI card's drivers were loaded prior to this to make it work, naturally.

Next up, I installed and configured Trumpet Winsock. I set my IP address, DNS, and chose the packet driver vector (you'll see 0x60 in the previous screenshot). And just like that, we are online!

So, there you have it. I'm super excited about this! And if you want wireless networking in DOS, this is certainly an option you can try. Thx for following along!
