I need some software that will run under DOS 6.22 that will allow me to
copy files to a CD/DVD-ROM Drive. This is on a legacy CNC machine - I'm
replacing a dying Viglen PC where the only exchangeable media is 4.5"
Floppy for a Compac DC7600 SFF PC that I have which also has CD/DVD
read / write drive that would be very handy for data exchange.

NB this is running genuine DOS 6.22 NOT a DOS window under Windoze !

Any pointers very welcome !

A quick option would be a copy of laplink and a serial or parallel
transfer cable. Just suck the files off to a laptop etc.

Network card would be another option.

Physically accessing the hard drive on another platform may work, but it
depends a bit on what disk interface it has. IDE/SCSI should be doable
without too much hassle. ST506/ESDI will pose more of a challenge.
