[SD-User] Boot Disk to run SD on Win 2000, ME etc.

[Paul O'Kane]

As SD is a DOS program, it runs on all DOS-based operating systems up to,
and including, Windows 98.  I've now uploaded SDBOOT.ZIP which is intended
to let users run SD on PCs using later versions of Windows.

It may be downloaded from http://www.ei5di.com/sd/sdboot.zip - size 766 kb,
and it unzips to
README.1ST
WBOOT.EXE
BOOT.BAT

To create a boot disk, you should be in a DOS window, and have the C:>
prompt - for whatever directory or folder into which you downloaded
SDBOOT.ZIP.

When you have unzipped SDBOOT.ZIP, place a blank formatted disk in drive A:
then type BOOT (followed by Enter).

All the necessary files will be copied to the disk in drive A:  You can then
use this disk as a boot disk (based on Win 98) to run SD on another PC.  It
will not alter or delete any files on your PC.

I've tested the boot disk on a Toshiba Tecra 8100, normally running Windows
2000, and SD runs correctly, including keying (parallel port) and rig
control (serial port).  Please let me know how it behaves for you.
