Well, I finally found some other backups. I now have a level 42 version of my warrior, complete with a Kings Broad Sword of Haste, plus a Helm of Spirits. I also found a screenshot of my warrior at level 44.
Still, I did find that just re-naming the .drv files to the new multi_#.sv format and putting them in the Diablo directory was enough. My .drv files came from the v1.07 version and I am now playing v1.09 quite happily.
I think you still have to know your machine name and the network (workgroup) name. As a tip, I am sure the default for Windows 95 (maybe 98/98SE?) is default (for the computer name) and WORKGROUP (for the workgroup). It might be worth trying those if you are having problems.
