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

Gotcha. But, actually, I was thinking on the possibility of running DOS
in a virtual machine under Linux (which, can be run in a virtual machine
under Win).
Thinking further, I guess it would be simpler to just run the MSDOS in a
virtual machine under Win, if that would work.....

One of my friends goes the other way, by the way, and runs WinXP in a
virtual machine under Ubuntu Linux.

Thanks,
