[DSP-10] DSP-10

[Bob Larkin]

This is just a general comment relative to using the DSP-10 with MS 
Windows past Win98.  There are instructions and an ISO file for running 
the DSP-10 under Puppy Linux as a work around.  When you do this, the 
hard drive on the PC need never be used, at all, as this is one of a 
general class of "Live CDs."  Also, the operating system, Puppy Linux, 
is completely independent of Windows.  Lastly, you do not need to know a 
thing about Linux command line as a graphical screen is presented with 
an icon for the DSP-10 that you (single)  click on.  After that, it 
looks just like DOS.

A complexity with the newest of PC/Laptops is the UEFI that replaces the 
old BIOS.  Some of those don't like "Live CDs (or USB sticks)" and need 
convincing, an area that I am unfamiliar with. This Puppy ISO has the 
same requirements as any

I have used Puppy DSP-10 many time with success.

PS-The Puppy/DSP-10 ISO is getting older and there are applications 
included, like Web Browsers, that are out of date.  If you just ignore 
these, it is not a problem.  If you open apps, they usually won't break, 
but you may get suggestions to update to the latest.  Don't do that 
until you learn the basics of Puppy.
