Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] DOS and/or GWBASIC control of LPT-1

I might be wrong here, but; you may be able to make a bootable Dos on USB
memory stick. I'm sure you can find a dos type operating system that will
allow that. Otherwise set up a virtual operating system, or a dual boot
system.

Theres info out there from guys who have done it, just search.
