I wish you luck man.
I had such a system but as it stands true units are units with mon
screens and are hard to buy.
I couldn't get one about 2000 and I'd say its impossible now.

Hi Thomas.
Here Here, I've managed to find myself a laptop which looks as if it
could serve reasonably well. Its an HP Omni book 2100 with a 3.2GB
hard drive, 32MB of memory, MMX processor running at 233MHZ and
integrated floppy and cd rom drives. I've been doing my research
and although the machine doesn't have drivers for DOS and Windows
3.1X, a little digging and improvisation should get most of the
hardware working well enough. I too had a lot of difficulties
getting my Apollo synthesizers working well under a virtual machine
environment of DOS and so I've decided to spend what could be a very
small amount depending on how the auction goes on this little gem.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Ibrahim,
I still have an old Dectalk Express as well as my original copy of
Jaws for Dos which I mess around with now and then as well. I
principly keep my Dectalk around more for Linux than I do for Dos, but
the fact is I'm one of the few withthe the right equipment to use Dos
Box. Unfortunately, most people these days don't have the right
hardware or the software for Dos support.
Anyway, the biggest problem I've encountered is the fact that older
hardware synths won't work with a new computer. Every laptop I've
purchased in the last six years or so don't have a serial port, and
are USB only. I've tried various USB to serial converter cables with
no luck. I've heard it can be done, but haven't found that one that
works correctly with my aging Dectalk Express.
I also have a Dectalk PC, and that one is a lost cause. The Dectalk PC
cards are ISA boards and every desktop built in the last 10 years or
so are PCI. Therefore all the old internal synths are pretty much dead
synths.
Cheers!

I still mess around with DOS as a hobbies and have the hardware synths and

was using died after some 17 years long hard service, not unfortunately
under my tender ministrations. I've now managed to find an HP Omnibook
machine however whether it'll be too powerful is still something I'm
dithering over since whether I can still get the DOS drivers for the various
components is a consideration.
all the best, Ibrahim.
