I remember ProComm, in fact they were competitors of mine in their slightly later Procomm Plus days.

And be aware that getting a VM to talk to a robot correctly may not work well due to timing issues. A websearch in that said it may still be possible, though generic drivers may be needed.īut, we should first confirm that the CNC and the VM OS can communicate. One other concept, see if 98 might still install enough on a newer but still older PC, perhaps from late 2000's. Try making a new VM, running the command, then start the VM and fresh-install 98, then try the CNC machine.Īlso see our 98 tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=9918 More web-searching on 'change CPU type site:' might help.Ī fresh install of Windows 98 might be necessary for the CPU change to set up correctly. There is a way to restrict the CPU type, see viewtopic.php?t=84423. How does the CNC machine and the controlling computer connect? Serial port, parallel port, USB? If anyone has some advice for me about this it would be greatly appreciated. From what I have found you can specify some hardware in the VM and you can specify a processor but I can't figure out how exactly to do it. The only thing I can think of is change the VM processor to emulate an old 386. I even tried copying the files directly from the desktop to the VM, put everything in exactly the same spot but still get the same error. All I get is a runtime error R6003 divide by 0. Problem I am running in to is it will not run. I created a windows 98 VM and found a copy of the software online. I would like to get this program running on a laptop so I at least have a backup if the PC dies. I currently have it running on a VERY old windows 98 desktop which I also inherited with the controller. The only way I know of to load it is using an old piece of software called procomm v2.01. I inherited this problem and am looking for a way out of it using VB. I have a specific problem and am trying to figure out a way to resolve it.
