I am trying to use FTP's InterDrive with MS Windows 3.0.
The problem is that a "Cant read from device" appears and the machine
reboots !
Under Windows 2.0 it works fine.
I have tried all the modes (/r, /s, and /3).
Maybe there is some problem with the packet driver (NE1000) ?

A couple issues:
1 - Load order is very important. PC/TCP cannot access an external
driver (such as a packet driver or NDIS driver) from within
Window. When you are using such a driver, you must load the kernel
before you load windows.
2 - Are you using version 7 of the Clarkson packet driver? If not, you
will have problems with Windows moving code, and calls being lost.
Version 7 with the -w switch fixes this problem by keeping track of
where calls come from.
3 - Currently, PC/TCP works only in Real Mode, and you will need to use
that switch. By the end of the year, we will also be working in
Extended Mode, with multiple application usable simultaneously.
Good luck! If you have any further questions, you can contact me at

We currently work in all modes, but only in real memory. I apologize for the confusion! :-) Frances Kirk Selkirk info@ftp.com (617) 246-0900 FTP Software, Inc. 26 Princess Street, Wakefield, MA 01880
