strand wont run on xp or any windows nt. yu need either virtual pc or an old comp. but for that its just the os software.

i had the hog ole but i recently deleted it. i think it was just the hog pc software.

They say the Maxxyz ole should be out any time now...

I use an emulator called DosBox to run the strand software on my computer. It emulates the dos program so you can run programs that require DOS on windows. It's quite nifty, a little bit annoying at times, but better then having to install DOS and what not.

do you have links to were i can find the Hog stuff, and Doxbox and the strand software?

[Traylen]

DosBox - dosbox.sourceforge.net
Strand Software - Their site is weird the address doesn't change since it's flash or something so, go to http://www.strandlight.com/US/Index.htm then go to the tab that says support and then to software.

scroll to find HogIIpc.
download the manual too, probably the best board manual ive ever read.

im absolutly in love with HogIIPC. i bought a dmx widget and rent a programming wing for my theatre, one of the best boards ive ever used, and cheap. the widget is $1400. and you dont need the programming wing, it just makes it easier.

if you have any questions about hogPC, contact me.

Can you run other programmes that use DOS using DosBox?

If I am not mistaken, win95 has dos (as opposed to pseudo dos that the NT based systems run). Thus you should be able to run the dos based programs from win95. I have an analyser that runs on dos and I have an old win95 machine set up just for this.

You may need to create a batch file to run what you want but it has been years since I did such things, so someone else may have to help you (if in fact you actually need to).

The other option is to run the machine in dos. In win95/98 when you shut down you can select “reboot in dos”. Just make sure that you know where the .exe is located and remember that dos uses 8 character names, so program files becomes progra~1

Hope this helps
