Allen Bradley Pcis
So being tired of turning on the old win98 laptop and running it to run PCIS software, I was able to get it to run on XP and communicate using also I would think that you could run it and configure it on Win2K but not sure. Its a free software that you can run a dos program as a virtual machine, its similar to VM Ware or Virtual PC, but its easy, free and works Just thought I would pass it on, just incase someone had to go back in time and program a SLC 150 or 100 is a post that rsdoran made with the manual and operating software for free. I also have a real serial port on this PC, not sure if it would work on others ports. I can confrim that this works. Before installing dosbox, we would get an error stating 'unable to connect to the SLC', or that the CPU was the incorrect type. We had already tried editing the compatibility mode and ensuring that we ran it in fullscreen mode (which was rumored to affect comms).

Nothing worked until I found this thread. Thanks to Mark's thread here, we were able to connect our Dell laptop running WinXP SP2 to a SLC-150 by using dosbox. Dosbox is a quick download and it took only a minute of reading the built in help feature to figure out how to 'mount' the software in a virtual drive for the software to use.
