[DSP-10] DSP-10

[Bob Larkin]

Bob, I don't know the answer for those two operating systems.  The 
DSP-10 has been made to "almost work" under Win XP, using a DOS 
emulator.  The serial port works, and I believe running through a USB 
converter should be OK.  But, the issue that came up under XP is all the 
timing that is done in the PC.  This shows up in many places.  The most 
obvious is sending CW.  The transmission of each dot or dash, start and 
finish, is the result of commands sent at the right time over the serial 
port.  Unfortunately, XP may go off for 100 milliseconds, or more, to do 
something "really important" leaving the key either up or down.  It gets 
very tough to copy.

I have had some success with Ubuntu and Puppy Linux, that do not seem to 
grab large blocks of time.  It has not been fully tested, however, and 
there may be problems.  I don't know if that would be helpful?  Right 
now it is on the back burner!!

73, Bob
