Ed,
EV> Daryl, Your Tagline included DOS amoung the list of plagues
EV> Maybe MS-DOS but not IBM-DOS.
Details, details, details.
EV> On my 486 desktop with MS-DOS 5.0 I later added IBM-DOS 7 to it
EV> after finding a IBM-DOS 7 CD at a thrift store.
I had a fellow ham radio operator on my BBS years ago (when it was
still on dial-up. At a "flea market", he found a most unusual system,
with the following:
1) A 3.5" and a 5.25" floppy drive
2) A monochrome amber monitor (with complimentary burn-in ).
3) A keyboard and a mouse
What was missing?? A hard drive, and an operating system!!
So, I created a 3.5" floppy disk with the COMMAND.COM from
Windows 95, and we booted up on A: (3.5") drive. Then, on the
B: (5.25") drive, I had the minimal setup of GTO -- GT Power,
Terminal Only. At the time, it was on dial-up only. But, he was
able to logon to my BBS, and play the games...from a computer
that didn`t have a hard drive or an OS!!
EV> I have always wondered if I got caught and committed if the
EV> place would allow me to have my Kenwood TS-520S in my room.
Don`t give these folks ideas!!
EV> I have a Husler Mobile antenna bottom section with upper
EV> portions for 75M through 10M.
I went to the link on that HOA petition, entered my callsign,
and clicked SEND, once the data was populated.
EV> If the institution didn`t want to hear my squeaky voice I would
EV> bring Headsets and a J-38 Key.
That`d work...let the computer or keyer do all the work.
EV> At least that`s the plan I have in my mind
EV> /Portable# should work O.K. unless I was transmitting on the
EV> 15M band.
It depends on the propagation conditions. I`m hoping they will
get better in the winter.

Daryl, N5VLZ
... I got angry at an Italian chef, gave him a pizza my mind.
