[DSP-10] Booting/loading on XP computer with CDrom

[Don AE5K]

Hi All,

I'm just in the midst of switching laptops, the ancient one being an old 
90 MHz Pentium Toshiba running Windows 98 with floppy disk booting of 
the DSP-10 software.

The new(er) one is an IBM T43 running XP with no floppy, but it has a 
CDrom drive.  Fortunately I have the docking station for it which gives 
me a serial port.

Surely, someone else has gone thru something like this -- anyone care to 
share an .ISO file with me that I can burn a CD with?  Or at least, give 
me some hints as the easiest way to do this?  I, of course, would like 
to have the computer boot up using the CDrom, but still have access to 
the hard disk for logging and other purposes while using the DSP-10.

The last I could find in the list archives was some rumblings back in 
2007 which didn't exactly answer my question.

While on the subject of booting and operating the DSP-10, has anyone 
done this using a version of Linux?

I'm finally taking the DSP-10, built many years ago, out of mothballs 
and hopefully putting it to good use as the i.f. for a 1296 transverter 
to begin with.

73,
