I have small 8088 computer, 640 K RAM with monochrome monitor.
I just received PED pile up trainer by JE3MAS Ver 4.11i
I gave gotten the audio to work but have no monitor display.
Is this software hardwired for VGA color monitor?
Is it possible to defeat this feature? and get nice monitor display
so I am not typing blind???

I find it hard to imagine anybody hearing their computer when you've got a
fair amount of separation between it & the antennas. For the typical
active VS6, one has less than 15m at best - making crud from the computer
getting into the radio & RF from the radio getting into the computer a real
problem. At my station, it's especially bad, since the station is nearly
underneath the base of my HF2 & the quad is no more than 6m away...
In addition to the obvious - torroids galore, my solution has been to build
the computer myself. Selection of the case & keyboard are obviously key to
achieving best EMC. The trick is lotsa metal & good contact between all
the pieces when it's put together - pretty basic, common sense stuff.
Keyboards are difficult, since the trend is to all plastic construction &
to save money, few have shielded cables. So I'm still using a very old XT
keyboard with a chunk of steel in it, although the machine is a 486. A
little screwy, but it works. If you've just _gotta_ have that cheap
plastic keyboard because of its feel, then take a can of conductive spray
paint to the inside, or do what I used to do back in the bad old days with
Commode 64s: line the inside with aluminum foil (but remember to put some
paper between the PCB & the foil!).
With all those computer superstores in the States now, I'd imagine it would
be as easy to pick & choose the right bits as can be done over here.
Another solution may be the machine I'm bringing back to life right now -
an archaic COMPAQ Deskpro 386/25 - made back when COMPAQ made heavy duty
kit. Tons of metal, Torx screws galore... nobody wants 386s anymore - so
should be easy to find one yourself. Sometimes the latest & greatest isn't
exactly the best thing for the job - like S56A's Chrysler!
