Thanks a lot for these hints! I'll try as soon as I get linux up and running.
Badly enough I do not have much experience with this OS.
regards, Dieter

Dieter, believe it or not, but I had very good results with dos programs
accessing serial ports with Wine (Way better than $VMWARE).
If you get Runtime error 200 it is a C run-time error that can be fixed, which
was all I had to do.
I used SuSE-8 at the time. I personally dont really like wine, but it does the
job with some Dos programs better than the expense of Vmware.
I still run some very tricky dos programs that way. Doing it all on Qemu
would be WAY nicer.
I am currently also looking at Qemu for better port access in general or to
develop myself what is lacking to access ports.
If you want to try the wine option let me know and I can walk you through it.
You can contact me off-list at my email-address.

Hi,
I have a sensor that sends frequency modulated data to
the serial port. These data are processed by an old
program running under DOS. This works well up to Win98
(starting the software from command line) but from Win2k
on it does not work any more.
So far I have tried VMware, VirtualPC, and DOSBox. All
emulate the serial port but the data read in are unreliable
or simply wrong most probably due to timing problems at
the com port (I am far from being an expert).
I now tried QUEMU (host: WinXP, guest: DOS). But I
even do not receive any data. Does anybody know a
solution? If I were able to at least accessing the serial port
I could find out whether the data are read in correctly. Or
is there no chance that this setup will ever work?
Thanks for hints, Dieter
