Hi Steve and Everyone:
I have been successful using the PCI Serial Port cards from Byterunner.com under
MSDOS with TR. The card that I'm using is the PCI-200L:
http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/product_name=PCI-200L/user-id=/password=/exchange=/exact_match=exact
I haven't tried it under FreeDOS, but I've used these on half a dozen different
computers under MSDOS. They work fine and don't require any unique cables or
adapters.
I haven't been successful getting any of the laptop (PCMCIA) serial cards
working with MSDOS. The last one I tried (years ago) worked until I
transmitted...

Subject: Re: [Trlog] Time to upgrade
I have done the dual boot/FreeDOS thing with my XP machine. TRLog runs fine,
except for one big problem - serial ports. I was never able to get my
after-market PCI serial ports to work with FreeDOS, despite loading the
manufacturer-provided DOS driver for the serial board. Parallel ports worked
fine under FreeDOS with TRLog, with the DOS driver. Keep in my that you won't
be
able to you a USB<->serial converter under FreeDOS, either, unless there is a
trick I don't know about.
TR4W runs fine with my XP machine, including all serial and parallel ports.
