Windows makes me talk to myself:

A partial fix:

https://www.supportyourtech.com/tech/how-to-enable-smb1-on-windows-11-step-by-step-guide-for-users/

This at least lets the affected system see older network devices, but 
it's strictly one way -- the older devices still can't see the 
newfangled system.

Different fix: Install XP in a VM and use that to schlep files, since it 
has no such difficulties.
