Hi Bill: There is no DOS with XP (unless you mean the ability to create a recovery floppy and reboot with that?). WindowsXP offers the ability to open a "Command Prompt" window which will run some co
If I may add a quicker solution to the dos problem here... MS now offers their helpful Virtual PC (2004 SP1 and 2007 beta) software for free . This software allows the user to to run virtual computin

Virtualizing software allows you to run an MSDOS program all right. So does an XP command window. And you're pretty well assured that you can make the basic logging functions work during a phone cont
If it is desired to stay with these DOS-based programs running under XP while continuing to produce great CW then it seems like a good solution would be for the developers of those programs to add th
ORIGINAL MESSAGE: -- REPLY FOLLOWS -- Ok, if you say so. I run a number of DOS programs such as G4FGQ's suite of calculator programs and K6STI's coil.exe and maybe a few others. None of them require
Take the old dos hd out of your 486, and put it in the xp machine. Make it the master (hdd0). Make the big xp hd the slave (hdd1). Set bios to boot to hdd1. On those rare occurrences where you want t
And why in Blue Blazes would you want to run Linux under Windoze? That would be like putting a Ferrari body on a Yugo! Running a DOS environment under XP still won't give you hardware access to your

Hi Dave: This works really well. There are simple, reliable boot loading programs (like GAG from gag.sourceforge.net) that make selecting which hard drive gets booted MUCH easier than using the BIOS.
Is it possible that the ability to run MS-DOS programs from within XP varies from one installation and/or version to another? I am asking because I use a couple of very old MS-DOS programs under Wind
Forget DOS... and forget paying. Download and install N1MM Logger, a fully featured Windows app that lets you use many of your favorite keystroke combinations whether it's CT, NA or TR. Works great w
I *think* I've successfully run Procomm Plus/DOS under Windows XP. The difference, however, is that PC+ uses the COM ports the way they were intended. Handshaking leads were used only for handshaking
We need to upgrade the PC used at W0ZT's, so I've been following this thread with some interest. I just wonder why it seems so important to run XP. Given: - N1MM, DX4WIN, WL, etc. all are supported o

Steve...The main issue today is most computers are loaded with XP or soon to be Vista after the first of the year. I agree about the 98 machines working just fine for TR and the such, BUT as with the

I had dual-boot (actually quad-boot) on my main computer until the motherboard died last summer. The new AMD 64 board doesn't have WIN98 drivers, so I went straight XP on it. I picked up a Dell PIII
Same here. Love TRLOG, and ran it for many years on a WIN95 and then a WIN98 machine without any problems, but all my systems are now XP Pro, and N1MM is pretty slick, and with the EL keyer, sends go
