Best explanation I can give...given by someone else. We've run a K on an XP machine but the computer geeks took care of getting it booted.

Thanks
Thanks
I personally use VirtualPC to run a DOS partition and have all the Haltech DOS programs in there and it works fine, but my laptop has a serial port. I also use the Keyspan serial adapter to connect to my Innovate AFR meter.

USB+dos, doesnt work... dos died out before USB took over, i don't think your going to find USB DOS drivers anywhere, and all of those USB to Serial adapters will on work in windows.
as a nother option it is posible to convert your paralelle into serial, or was it the other way around? hmm.
Of corce HIS^ Setup is diffrent, vpc will use the windows drivers for dos, so that might just be your only choice.

I have sucessfully used USB with my dos version software for the E6X. It requires using Virtual PC, and Windows 98. Once I properly configured the COM ports for Virtual PC, worked like a charm.

HP Pavilion N5190 Laptop (P3 700mhz)
Windows XP Pro
VirtualPC w/ DOS 7 virtual drive with all haltech DOS software (DOS 6.22 will also be fine)
Keyspan USB-Serial adapter (used for Haltech, as well as for LM-1 WideBand)
If you dont want to go through all of this, just get an old laptop with win9x and a serial port on Ebay, they are dirt cheap.

Yes, ive seen that, people give a low price but go insane on the shipping, but there are some good deals still lying around.
Thats how ive gotten my last 2 laptops, good deals in the end.
