I have tried the web site you suggested - ftp.uk.bio-rad.com but I can't get through!
Is this the right one?

The FTP site address below is correct, I've just checked it myself.
However, looking at the way you've tried to access the site it appears
you may have used Netscape or Windows Explorer, if you have, you need
to access the site by typing in the user name and password as well as
the ftp address in the "Location" field like this:
ftp://y2kcomos:mo...@ftp.uk.bio-rad.com
Please let us know if this has helped, if not I'll ask our IT group to
investigate.
Good luck,

I know that some of us use Windows 95 with the Bio-Rad CoMos software. Is
anyone using Windows 98? Has anyone tried and found that it didn't work
and what were the problems. I have thought of using a dual boot with
DOS/CoMos as one option and Windows 95/98 as the other. Can anyone see a
problem with this idea besides having to reboot when going back and forth
between the two operating systems.
Thanks for your input. If no one has tried it, I will and forward the
results.
