Terry,
If you still have the hard drive from the 486/DOS, install it in the Windows
machine as a second
drive. If your bios will allow, set it to boot off the DOS drive and run TR
like you used too. If
the bios won't allow, you can install it temporarily as the primary...that will
get you through this
week's contest.
As for the short memory when booting to DOS on the Windows machine, there are
probably some
statements needed in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files to load some
applications in upper
memory. I've forgotten exactly what they are and if you have too, this might
help:

Subject: [TenTec] TRLog 6.78 & Orion 1.372 one way communication
After a long hiatus, I am trying to get my station ready for the contest this
weekend. My
ancient 486/DOS 6.21 gave up the ghost. My backup runs WIN95. I can get the
OMNI VI+
to communicate with any of the serial ports @ 2400 baud. The Orion, running
1.372 software,
used to work perfectly with the old PC. Now, I can use TRLog to tell the Orion
to move
frequencies, but the computer doesn't display the frequency back from the Orion
on any
of the serial ports.
I am running in the MSDOS window of WIN95 - when I "boot to DOS" from the START
menu, only about 410K is available for DOS programs for some reason, so TR won't
run.
Any easy fixes? I still have several days of antenna work to do before the
contest starts
Friday night.
Terry Zivney, N4TZ/9
