[NLRS] Need Help w/FE-5680A Rubidium Std.

[Chris Elmquist]

I really don't know anything about the Windows world but it seems this
problem gets solved by running a DOS virtual machine on top of your 32-
or 64-bit Windows and then you can run the original GW-BASIC in that
virtual machine.

"DOSBox" is one way,

http://www.dosbox.com/

There is a Windows version of DOSBox here,

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/files/dosbox/0.74/DOSBox0.74-win32-installer.exe/download

Then you can find the original GW-Basic here,

http://www.gw-basic.com/downloads.html

This paper,

http://www.redrok.com/Oscillator_FE-5680A_precise-reference-frequency-rev-1_0.pdf

references a .ZIP with both BASIC source and .EXE versions of an FE-5680A
configuration program so maybe you can run the .EXE directly in the
DOSBox too without requiring BASIC.

Good luck,
