I let the box run for about 3 hours, tested everything I could think of, and all seems fine.
After shutting down the UHFA program but leaving UHF3_33x running, it did not want to
start again. I had to remove power from the DSP-10 box and let it boot from the eprom,
and reload using the batch file from the floppy. Then everything was OK again.
I tried using windows 98 also, but this required some effort to get going. There seems to
be some issue with getting the pointers. After UHF3_33x was loaded, I just kept
hammering on UHFA, and it finally got the pointers.
Next trial was just using UHF3_33x and UHFA in DOS which works normally.
Since I have laptop computers dedicated to DOS I will continue in the same old fashion.
W7LHL also tried XP and Vista. XP worked fine, and it appears Vista might work, but there
is some issue with the screen driver. Ernie has a wide screen. Everything loads, so the
com port seems to be OK, it just doesn't like the wide screen somehow.
I have not tried putting the files on the hard drive. Ernie did, and it worked fine for him.
Way to go Roger !! It works great. Thanks again..
