I have run into the same problems. I use an old 486 75MHz laptop with DOS
and Win3.1 This system works fine.......I woudn't want to use a faster
computer either.

Tired of trying to use your older software on those new Windows XP, USB

and fast computers?
This laptop is speedy enough to play on the net and run most
applications yet compatable with you older Motorola Software. Have
those "Error 2003" With you Maxtrac program? Solve it right here.

Toshiba 2505CDS Laptop

I would point out, from direct and bitter experience, that this
system is still way too fast for some of the older DOS RSS packages,
including:

Syntor X9000
MCX1000
(possibly) HT600
(possibly) MT1000

The authoritative references on computer compatibility with
Motorola's RSS packages can be found at:

A listing of Motorola's current RSS versions, and their
compatibility with various OS versions, is at:

http://www.batlabs.com/arc/rss_020604.pdf

There is also a Motorola Technical Service Bulletin floating
around which describes, in gruesome detail, which packages are expected
to work on a fast computer and which are not.

This system sounds like a good deal, but I would urge any buyers
to research compatibility first.

Windows 98 Operating System

One thing you should NEVER, under ANY conditions do, is try to run
DOS-based RSS in a "DOS Window" on a Windows-based machine. Motorola's
DOS-based RSS requires total control over the serial port's UART, and
this is something that Windows does not typically allow.

Keep the peace(es).
