Well,
I'd guess that you were not running Windows XP on that
machine. XP loves speed and Memory.
I used to do logging with a 386-33, but I was only logging (and in
DOS) no rig interface, no auto CW, no auto-SSB, and no RTTY.
I also traded up to a radio with no tubes in it.
No way do I want to go back to those "Golden" days, but it
would be nice to get out of the bottom of the Sunspot Cycle.
