And then you, too, could require a $100 outboard keyer unit to do what
Windows apparently cannot.
Why not simply keep a DOS 7 (Win 95) boot disk around so that you can
always boot your P3 to DOS when you need it, or do what I do with Win98SE
-- use a DOS window and shut down background services through the Task
Manager to avoid CPU conflicts. Partition Magic is another proven solution
-- set aside a *mere* 100 Mb on your hard drive for a DOS partition and
you're set forever.
