Does anyone know if the control system software will require windows 95? Or will it run on the old 3.x?

The blurb on the Parallax Web site says it works on 'Windows 3.1, and Windows95/98/NT', although I can only vouch for 98.

OOOOOOPS ! I've been playing with a different piece of software ! For the Parallax BS2-SX Editor, they only mention Win95/98/NT 4.0, but not Windows 3.x.

FYI, according to the Parallax folks, using the programming utility under Windows NT is not 100% reliable yet. You may wish to stick with Win95/98 for now.
