This is correct.  I use an old Pentium 133 Mhz laptop. Have not tested
on anything faster. YMMV.

It may not run well on that fast of a machine... remember that old DOS
software used clock pulses from the computer for timing. But it might at
least be worth a try.  Let us know, Ric, If it DOES work OK that way
(DOS boot disk on fast machine)!!

 

I need to come up with some options for the future - I'm not sure how

Hey Rick,

 

You can format a floppy with / using an old DOS computer, and make a DOS
boot disk.  May be able to download one from bootdisks.com.  Then insert
the floppy with RSS and run it.

Works for me.

Kevin is correct - you can try the "SHIFT Entry" method, except
do NOT hold down the shift key when entering the decimal point.  For
example, a frequency of 433.1750 would appear as follows:  $##.!&%)
(notice the decimal).  Should work OK for your application.  But Kevin
is correct - check the BatLabs pages first to be absolutely certain.

The answer is "YES" but you need to do a few things to get it
there.

Best would be to check out the information on www.batlabs. com
<http://www.batlabs.com/>  and click on the GM300 link.

You need of course the Motorola programming software and
interface, and when you want to program a new frequency, in your case
433Mhz, you have to hold the shift key down for the whole frequency, so
it would be $##))). It's been awhile since I have done one, so I am only
going off memory, thats why I suggest looking at Batlabs.

Best of luck

Paul,

 

I guess Im going to have to start prowling the local electronics recycling
events here  I see a LOT of people throwing away computers.  I should be
able to grab a half-dozen or so and hopefully cobble together at least ONE
working machine, I think. 

 

I think I still have an unopened box of 5¼ floppies around here somewhere 
I used them with my Commodore 64 and Amiga machines, although the Amiga used
primarily 3½ floppies (the 5¼s were for the DOS emulator).

You guys are just looking in the wrong place. You need to go computer
shopping at a landfill!

I have an old 386 SX 16 running DOS 6.2. I keep it around just for these
eventualities. I built it in the early 1990s from a motherboard cast off in
a law office upgrade. Still works great. I have an old DTMF dialer I wrote
in basic and compiled into an exe file, and it runs better on the older 28.8
modems.

 

I do worry about floppies becoming obsolete.
