Re: 2 denfords, one p.c. can anyone help ?

I'm not sure on pricing of the windows based s/ware so suggest you try to PM Admin for details. As an alternative, you could try running the DOS software in the DOSBOX emulator ( http://www.dosbox.com/ ).

Re: 2 denfords, one p.c. can anyone help ?

Any PCI card is great for Windows based software but not good for DOS based. Are you saying that it is not possible to use the tutor keyboards with a pci card like the one I got, or just that particular card, as I thought that using a pci card is what some are using to run their machines when they ...

Re: extender card bought; Now what should I do ????

So for eaxmple... IBM.RS2 1 $2F8 3 MACHINE Will run the IBM.RS2 program. There is 1 line of parameters ...

2 denfords, one p.c. can anyone help ?

Hi, I have a novaturn and novamill, and would like to be able to control them using one p.c. which I have built from an older m/board (sempron processor, usb 1.0 vintage). However, it only has one rs232 interface so I cannot even plug one machine into it. I already know that you can get a pci card w...
