Re: [amsat-bb] FodTrack use with Windows 2000

["Nicolaus Sallay" <n.sallay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello George
Depending on what calibrating program you use, specifically
if it is DOS based, the Win2000 will not identify the printer port.
I had a similar problem, using the SASI interface with the DOS
based calibrating softer. If you use Nova for Windows 32, the
TSR driver will work fine with SASI interface in Win 2000.Other-
wise you have to return to Win 98SE or WinME both have some 
"DOS functions" left . The same will happen with FodTrack.
