I installed it and it worked. Configuration is a matter of creating the drive
mappings in File Manager. I haven't played around with it much yet so I can
only expect that the drive mappings are more globally valid. I just needed to
copy around large files that weren't worth shuttling on floppy.

It seems that, at least for the D-Link, there is a WfW driver subdirectory that
seemed to work fine.
