Haha!
Maybe your best bet is the local recycling center, or your town's dump.
In our town both is in the same location, and there have got to be hundreds of computers there each and every week.
Look for something that has the serial port ( either 9 or 25 pin ) directly attached to the MB and not to an expansion card!
That is one guaranteed way to ensure that the BIOS is aware of it's serial port and does not depend on the card signing itself on, nor will it need
any special drivers to use it.
From the looks of it there are dozens of sources where an ISO image of MS-DOS 6.2 can be downloaded from.
Burn it onto a CD, boot the machine from it.
Then, type sys C:, which will transfer the necessary DOS system files onto the hard drive ( copy will not work for this!!! )
Then, use XCOPY *.* C: /s to copy all other dos files to the hard drive
Then copy the Brother files into C:\brother directory ( create it first )
One thing that I kind of remember is that the COMS program must be on the same logical drive as the OS ( in this case DOS ) because some of the paths are hard coded in it and will not function
when running from a different drive letter.
Basically, COMS must reside on the boot drive.
