- The de facto OS/2 standard ftp site is ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. It is huge.
-
- You may not find the drivers you are looking for there. My suggestion
- on both models is to rely on any compatibility they over. For
- example, is the NEC compatible with any Epson model?
-
- (In fact, that's what a lot of applications and Windows can do -- they
- will list a particular model, but internally they'll use an Epson or
- some other compatible driver. I hope OS/2 continues to crosslist
- specific models -- this next beta includes a lot more.)
