What is the file suffix when saving to the disc!!! Anyhow a help file or readme.txt file would be a big help!!!
good luck to you.

YEP = Tyrone took the words right out of my mouth.
The CPU clock speed is way too fast for that model.
Just think of it like a 3 month old baby, and trying to force the child to drink a 32 oz big gulp in 15 seconds.
Even if you could get it to swallow all the information, it would burp and throw it right back up again.
Most radio tech's keeps a old computer on hand - just for what you are trying to do.
Newer is not always better - especially when it comes to older equipment.
