The following may be modified at any time without notice.

A distribution and support BBS for SIO has been setup. The
number is 1-703-494-0098 or by Internet at 199.248.240.2. The
modem is a 16.8 USR Dual Standard. SIO users can register on
line and immediately download their registered version of SIO.
Use the ORDER command at the main BBS menu. Previously
registered users that wish to increase their number of ports can
also place an ORDER and download immediately.

Registered users, be sure to have your SIO serial number the
first time that you call the BBS, it will speed things up. Note
that those that registered SIO prior to 1.20 were not given a
serial number. A serial number will be assigned upon request.

Once in the BBS data base knows you as a registered user, the
BBS's UPDATE command can be used to obtain a new registered copy
of SIO at any time. All "number of ports" versions of SIO are
available to registered users for immediate updating and
downloading. Users that accidently overlay their registered
version of SIO can also use the UPDATE command to obtain a
replacement registered copy of SIO. If you use the BBS's UPDATE
command THEN YOU DO NOT NEED TO RUN REREG.

Users that have a registered copy of SIO can also use REREG.EXE
to transfer the registration information to a new version of SIO.
Simply unzip the new SIO files into a temporary directory, change
to that directory, execute REREG and answer the questions. After
doing the above, all of the files in the temporary directory will
have been registered. You must then copy all the SYS and EXE
files from the temporary directory to their normal directory
(overlaying the old registered version). Then you must reboot.
You may also want to check your CONFIG.SYS for the path of the
SIO/VSIO being loaded and make sure both the new ones are being
loaded.

If REREG will not transfer your registration information from a
previous version of SIO to the new version, then an upgrade must
be ordered on disk or obtained from the support BBS.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
