Info about the card itself is here: http://www.bsof.com/a200prod.htm In a nutshell, it needs to communicate with the DOS based analyzer program we run, on a port between 0x200 and 0x2FF. With DOSEmu 1.1.4 I had it sort of working. The DOS program could find the card on address 0x200, but claimed that the com between itself and the card was too slow. The message that appeared in the DOS app indicated this anyway, since it stated that the com was too slow and I needed at least a 486/66 for it to work properly. This is on a PII/350, so obviously the raw hardware itself is more than up to the task, the slowdown being in the emulation layers. So, with great joy I tried 1.1.5 since one of the points listed was that I/O was improved, and was hoping this would be the final key to finish off this beast of a problem. But under 1.1.5, the card is not detected at all. Tried all addresses in the card's range to no luck. It's like it just isn't there at all.... Are there any alterations I need to make to the dosemu.conf file between versions, or can anyone think of anything else I can try either with 1.1.5 or a previous iteration? Thanks Barclay McInnes.
