I have absolutely no intention of duplicating any of the freeware that
is available on the Internet. This page will contain useful little
utilities that we could all code ourselves, but would rather find someone
who has done it before for us.
DOS Network Boot Disk (updated 21 Dec 01)
This Zip file here is a Win98 DOS network boot
disk. Just download the file and un-zip it to a blank floppy disk
maintaining the directory structure. The blank floppy must be
formatted with Win9x (Win 2000 formatted floppies will not work). This floppy will allow you to
boot a machine using just files on the floppy and have the NetBEUI
protocol available. It is a version that works with the following
NICs:
DLink DFE530TX 10/100Mb (PCI)
DLink DFE540TX 10/100Mb (PCI)
DLink DFE550TX 10/100Mb (PCI)
3Com 3C905TX 10/100Mb (PCI)
3Com 3C589D 10Mb (PC Card)
3Com 3C589D 10Mb (PC Card) (alternate I/O address)
New Media LiveWire 10/100Mb (PC Card)
IBM ThinkPad T23 built in Intel 10/100 (PC Card)
If you use a different NIC, you will need to modify the configuration
files and add that NIC's DOS drivers. I have now removed the help
files to include extra NIC drivers.
I hope you find it useful.
Valid Credit card Number Generator
Some ISPs insist on you providing a credit card number even when you
conduct a free trial making the onus on you to cancel your subscription at
the end of the free period, and then you rely on them not charging your
card. You can use the Microsoft Excel
ccard.xls and Lotus 123 ccard.123
spreadsheets to create your own valid credit card numbers which will
probably pass the validation checks. Of course, these numbers must
not be used fraudulently and should you decide to go ahead with any
subscription or service after the free period, you must provide your own
valid credit card number. |
