DW3 will work, you will need to download a local copy of the extras
disk and then mount that in drive 1. You probably did that..
If you type:
dir /x1
do you see:
Directory of /x1 1900/04/02 16:33
SMTP CCIRC HTTPD WWWROOT CMDS
SYS LIB DEFS TWITTER MIDI
?
if so, lets skip the copying, it isn't necessary. just type
chx /x1/cmds
then type
lha
do you get:
LHA v2.11: File Archive Copyright (c) Haruyasu Yoshizaki, 1988-91
