[comp.sys.xerox] 1186 PCE Board Driver Software Needed

robnor@uncle-bens.rice.edu (Robert C. Norris) (01/24/91)

Does anyone know where I could get ahold of the driver software for
an 1186 PCE board?  The machine where our driver software lived has
very serious disk death and the floppies are long gone.  EnVos was
asking about $300 for the software a few years ago, but now they're
out of business and I don't know who took over PCE support.

Any help would be appreciated.

OR...

If anyone knows of a way to get a PC to read/write Xerox disks (or vice
versa) WITHOUT a PCE board, please let me know.

Thanks a bunch,

    Rob

EnVos might be dead, but Venue isn't. Venue now has the rights to all
the EnVos products, and provides sales and support for those products,
as well as new product development. The 800 number is still the same,
at 800-228-5325 (I thing that numbers gonna remain in my brain till
the day I die now :-). I'm not sure what thier price for PCE is, but
their prices in general seem lower than Xerox or EnVos'.
