Re: [amsat-bb] Wisp & XP

[Dieter <kx4y@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris

Since recent computers don't have ISA slots, I am hanging on to older 
machines that do have them still, yet are fast enough to run w2k.  I like 
to use w2k for that, where I have a spare legal copy of it, but don't have 
a spare XP.  The P-233 with 184MB or RAM seems to run just as fast with w2k 
than with win98se.  W2K is much more stable than my win98se that I have to 
reinstall from time to time after reformatting my hdd.  I am getting tired 
of win98se acting up.

I believe that my kct/t will serve me fine for another ten years.  I am 
already running it since 1999.

Are you sure that it is XP that does not support ISA cards, or isn't it 
that the kct/t does not work due to a lack of a driver that works with XP 
and w2k?

Hi Nels

I wish we could find someone who could write a driver for XP / w2k so that 
we could use the kct/t with wisp running either one of these operating 
systems.  I would love to get away from win98se and run my P-233 that is 
purely dedicated to ham radio on w2k.  This computer is running fine on 
w2k, but can't use the kct/t with it running wisp for the digital birds.  I 
still am one of the very few being on uo-22 and go-32.

Hi Dieter,

Sadly Windows XP does not support ISA addresses any more hence the demise 
of the KCTT card. I heard years ago someone recompiled a version of Wisp 
for W2K but that was a one off test that never happened for the rest of us.

I had hoped that Chris G7UPN/ZL2TPO would allow us to have a network 
version and everyone go Eithernet like the command stations did, but Chris 
was not willing to  release a public version of this.
