I have a need to run old DOS programs at work (Thank
You, Motorola!) I sometimes get by with disabling the
cache in the bios. There was a program floating around
for a while that was called mo'slo. It slowed down
fast PCs to run older software. You might give a
serious look at www.n1mm.com I used TR for years, and
am perfectly satisfied with N1MMLogger. Free for
Windows. I'm not one of you big-shot contesters, but I
think a few more big-shots are starting to use it.
