[Emc-users] running a DOS cam program in linux

2013-08-04 Thread Chris Morley
I have a cam program - SMARTCAM turning V7.5- that runs in dos.
Currently on a very old laptop under win 95

The floppy drive is hooped and there is no network port or USB.

I would like to run it under linux. Is there any suggestions on what to use
to try this?
Should I run win95 in a VM or something like DOSbox?

It uses a parallel port dongle for copy protection.

Does anyone else have any smartcam products of about this era?
Like advanced turning or milling?

I would try DOSbox first.  I used it for a program that had to 
communicate via serial port and it worked great.  It's nice because it's 
small and you don't need a VM.
