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.
