That's odd... they run fine on my XP2500+ HP laptop. I had a bear of a
time putting DOS on it, but other than that, piece of cake. I decided to
fix my K6II-300 machine (with Win98b) since I couldn't get the 1225
stuff to run properly on the new one (XP won't grant it serial port
access). Win98 seems to be the only thing that will run everything. The
new CPS won't run in DOS, and XP won't allow DOS programs access to the
serial port (although it runs the DOS programs fine - even Syntor
X9000). I don't remember what version of DOS I put on my new machine.
Come to think of it, it might be Win98's or Win95's DOS (minus the
Windows program). Yes, I'm using dual boot - two partitions.
If anyone knows how to 'bribe' XP to give serial port access to DOS
programs, please let me know!
Yes, this is on-topic, as programming repeaters is part of the issue.
