[CQ-Contest] Adding MS-DOS to a WindowsXP Computer

[Dennis OConnor]

DOS based machines and software are getting long in the tooth...  I have long used and liked TRLOG, but it does not run on my XP machines, and installing 4 port serial cards on newer hardware is increasingly a hassle, and impossible on my HP PenTabs...  98 does not support Greyline packaged in N1MM...  Using flash memory to move information between my XP office machines and the shack DOS/98 became a hassle when I went to 2 GIG flash for all the business activities... SO, I am this season running N1MM... Started on 98 machines that had been used for TRLOG ... Found intermittent problems...  FInally dragged home a cast off 500 mhz XP machine from the office... Loaded N1MM, plugged in a USB hub, plugged in all my peripherals including WinKey USB, and it has motored through two contests now without so much as a hiccup... I'm sold...  IF TRLOG comes out on XP and supports WInKey I'll jump back as I miss the intuitive interface where the enter key does 99% of the operating
 commands...
