Silly me.  I forgot I needed Daniela's drivers for that.  The following is the
latest one I was able to get:

The other one is danis506.zip -- an earlier release.

Yeah, I remember that much, but forgot an awful lot since 1995.

That's what I'm going to format it as, whether they do or don't.  I have run

If you aren't extra careful about where you go on the 'net, they'll hunt you
down.

You too.
