Hello,

I've got a Smartlinc brand Houselinc 1101B X10 controller and I'm looking
for a copy of the old Plato software for it. I've had the unit since it was
new and the PC I had the software installed on crashed. I have a backup of
the installed version (so I should be able to get the data file) but I no
longer have the install floppy's that came with the unit. Does anyone have a
old copy of the software available or know where I can download it from?
I've searched the internet and can only find references to it and of course
the Smarthome web site, but they just want me to purchase a new type of
software. I would really like to continue to use the Houslinc and Plato
software.

Thanks,
Bob

If nobody can help you with a fresh copy you may still not be SOL. Since
you have a copy of the installed version you should be able to copy it
using an Iimager like Acronis 11. It copies the image (as opposed to
files) of a disk and then restores it to another disk.
I used that when a hard drive was failing on my laptop. I copied the
whole drive to a newly formatted external disk with Acronis 11, swapped
the old for a new drive, and restored from the external. The new drive
booted and ran everything just as the old disk did. Norton Ghost is
supposed to do the same thing but when I tried it I had no success.
