I'm intending in the near future to move home ( Just had the last chain collapse) When this finally happens I would like to take up my Ham Radio Hobby again using some old DOS software , I started to look into an Old 386 or 286 and realized two things one old PCs are worth a fortune and two how would I get the programs onto floppy disc from a more modern PC without a floppy drive ?? Will a floppy drive even work in a modern PC . Ok that sounds difficult so option 2 use a more modern PC , will Dos even work on a modern PC ? 2 if Dos did work on the modern PC how would I download the Programs onto said PC ? The other problem would be do modern PC's even have serial ports needed to use the programs anyway ? option 3 get a half way machine that will run Windoze but still have acess to Dos , I think the last timeI used Windoze was 95 ( am I right that you still had Dos access in (95) Will Windoze 95 be able to connect to modern broadband equipment ? Or option 4 give up and go home. What do you think is the best plan ? I seem to remember trying this before in some sort of Dos emulator and finding the comports did not work.
