TWilkie Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Hi All,We are currently using Reporter PC (original version) with our 21 CD80SV rack system. The new version called Reporter Pro still isn't working with our CD80SV racks, but Strand is working hard to solve this issue.Since Mac has gotten the offline editor to work beautifully on an XP Pro desktop.... Is there a way to emulate Reporter PC the same way ? It will not run on anything beyond Windows 98SE and our current modern motherboards do not have a second DB9 serial port (Com 2). That version of Reporter will only function using the second serial port... Any advice or info on this is sincerely appreciated...

mac.calder Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 It is fairly messy, but you could try getting VMWare - they have a beta of their server edition available for public beta. I have no idea how long it will last until the beta expires, but it might tide you over for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies if it makes the thread harder to follow - we've reinstated what we can, but the newer ones hadn't been cached so there's nothing we can do about them.

mac.calder Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 My VMWare box is down at the moment, but I am 90% sure that it supports direct through to serial ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos137 Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 VMWare or Virtual PC should work. I know from use that Virtual PC can be set to pass data straight through to ports etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
