Hi Bill: Thanks. That means it isn't a problem with my equipment, software, setup, cabling, operating, ... :-) This is actually useful to know! Looks like a bug. Either in TR or the Orion! 73, Mark -
Good afternoon: I spent quite a while yesterday fiddling with a ByteRunner dual PCI serial card. The good news is that it works fine with both CT and TRLog under DOS, using the VSEMUIO program provid
Hi Howie: Yes, it's been noted several times. Sometimes it only disappears from the display, and a "space" still calls the other station. Sometimes it seems to be gone entirely, and a "space" sends y
Good Morning, all I attended a demonstration of N1MM yesterday night. In their S&P mode, with something called "ESM" (Enter Sends Message), the enter key works slightly differently from TR. Enter cal
Good morning: Also from the N1MM demo yesterday evening... N1MM highlights the next function key message(s) that an "Enter" will automatically send with a different background color. If we moved the
Hello: Has anyone managed to get TRLog running under FreeDOS? No, I'm not crazy! Dual booting Windows XP and DOS 6.22 is somewhere between very hard and impossible if you can't destroy the Windows XP
Hi Michael: I'm not sure I'm an expert, but I am a happy user of the ByteRunner PCI dual serial cards. First of all, if you have an ISA slot, I'd suggest one of these: TC-200-55. This will plug in an
Hi Tree: IRQ's. Yuck. I run TR on computers that are also set up for CT. CT does not allow IRQ sharing for serial ports. You are going to have to look at IRQ's other than 3/4. :-( Perhaps this should
Hello all: I second the dual boot recommendation. It is not necessary to get a clean disk drive. If you are already running Windows, you can shrink the Windows partition using an open source applicat
Good morning, all: I have figured out a procedure for taking a Windows XP computer, even a laptop, and installing MS-DOS on it. This allows a dual boot (just pick whether you want Windows XP or DOS)
Hi Vitaly: Well, I don't think there's any more risk using this software. Either way, enter the wrong parameters and you can wipe out your disk. I can wipe out all of the data on a disk using anythin
Good morning, again: I have had several requests for the draft procedure for setting up a Windows XP computer to dual-boot DOS. I wanted to provide a bit more information, answering the most common q
Hello, all: I hadn't noticed that Neal had copied the reflector... I am using a "Linux Live" CD to do the partitioning. This version of Linux runs entirely from the CD and does not touch the hard dis
Good day, all: Doug Freestone, VE5UF, has successfully created a dual-boot system using the procedure I sent him! :-) He is going to continue to help me improve and clarify the procedure notes. I loo
Good day, all: As part of my "cookbook" for dual booting XP and DOS, I'd love to be able to run CT and TR from FreeDOS. That would allow doing lots of really neat things, including distributing boota
Hi: I'd use 6.79. I last used that version for WAE CW and WAE SSB and it works very well. I intend to use it next weekend for SS CW! This weekend is a multi-op where they use CT. :-( I am of course e
Hi Paul: The ".dat" files can't be backed up to the main drive under DOS unless the main drive has a FAT32 or FAT16 partition. You can read NTFS partitions under DOS but can't write them (AFAIK). Of
Hi Dennis: This works fine, but is impractical on laptops. There have been problems partitioning drives in the past, but I believe the new tools are actually stable. However, I do recommend a backup
Hi guys: I have one of these booting DOS. Runs just fine. Haven't used it yet for the intended purpose. Actually, it's easy enough to create a bootable CD with DOS, but then you need somewhere to hol
Hi Bob: This isn't a DOS driver issue...it's a BIOS issue. If the BIOS is smart enough, the BIOS boots from the USB stick and mounts it as C:. DOS doesn't know anything except the BIOS interface and
