Hi: That would be me. I have an updated version of the instructions if anyone is interested. All of my machines dual-boot WindowsXP and DOS. It takes me about 10 minutes - the first time will take yo
Hi Geo: It is not hard to create a bootable FreeDOS or MSDOS CD - you can even customize what is on the CD. The easiest (and most compatible) way is to boot a floppy disk image using something called

Hi Andy: Try lpt1init.exe, available from http://www.k1ea.com/utilities/ Run it before you start CT. I wrote it to fix this problem. In 2005, I had this problem with an external DVK (an SCK-II). I wr
