[Trlog] Time to upgrade

[kd4d at comcast.net]

Hi Steve and Everyone:

I have been successful using the PCI Serial Port cards from Byterunner.com under
MSDOS with TR.  The card that I'm using is the PCI-200L:

I haven't tried it under FreeDOS, but I've used these on half a dozen different
computers under MSDOS.  They work fine and don't require any unique cables or
adapters.

I haven't been successful getting any of the laptop (PCMCIA) serial cards 
working with MSDOS.  The last one I tried (years ago) worked until I 
transmitted...

73,

Mark, KD4D

I have done the dual boot/FreeDOS thing with my XP machine. TRLog runs fine, 
except for one big problem - serial ports. I was never able to get my 
after-market PCI serial ports to work with FreeDOS, despite loading the 
manufacturer-provided DOS driver for the serial board. Parallel ports worked 
fine under FreeDOS with TRLog, with the DOS driver. Keep in my that you won't be 
able to you a USB<->serial converter under FreeDOS, either, unless there is a 
trick I don't know about.

TR4W runs fine with my XP machine, including all serial and parallel ports.
