Re: Programming SCORBOT ER 3

reuven,
You reminded me that many of these old DOS serial control applications simply won't run under Windows past ME due to changes in the read/write communications under newer versions (non-DOS shell) of Windows. There are a few companies that are selling software that will correct the problem for Windows machines. As I remember there is an issue with main boards designed for Windows modem communications, I just don't remember what the exact problem was.
