I called Newtek and spoke a tech support person there, because I wanted
to know why it wouldn't work. (I'm very tenacious). There are two issues
involved:
1) It has to be DOS/Windows. The emulator cards I have looked at are r
real DOS cards sitting in a MAC. He said, technically, it should work, ,
it had never been tried.
2) The dongle must be on a parallel port. At least one card I have seen
has a parallel port.
His final response was, if it works, let us know.
So, I am going to try this, unless someone beats me to it and says it is
a failure. Here's a big question. The card I am interested in has a max
capability of 32 megs on board. How much is needed to run windows? Will
what is left be enough to run LW on a Windows Platform?
Later.
