Hi, a DOS textmode program that I wanted to run (for communicating with a multimeter) tells me 'no suitable screen' and dosemu ver. 0.98.4 stops with 'ERROR: HLT requested: lina=0x8d!' and CPU usage of dos goes up to 100%. This happens even if I use 80x25 SVGAText mode. On a related matter, I have a short BASIC prog that should be able to comm. with the multimeter at 600 bps but QBASIC hangs when running it. Could someone be so kind and give me some hints on - possible reasons why this (relatively simple) app barfs? - possible workarounds for the screen thing? - whether dosemu supports 600 bps ser. comm. and if not, where to look for this?
