Calling all XP gurus. 16 bit apps!

Hi everyone,

We still use the old WANG systems at my company. The problem I have is we
are TRYING to upgrade all our computers from Win98SE to WinXP. We have a 16
bit application for terminal emulation and a 16 bit ISA card that connects
via a coaxle able to the WANG systems (Mini-Mainframe).

THE PROBLEM IS:

For the emulation software to see the ISA card we must make insertions into
the config.SYS file in Win98. With WinXP I tried making the same insertions
in the config.NT file, but whenever I launch the emulation software it
brings up the usual dos box and says "WANG CARD CAN NOT BE FOUND". Any
Ideas?


The values we add to the config.sys files are:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-DFFF
BUFFERS=60
FILES=150
DOS=HIGH, UMB

Reading the instructions in the config.NT file, I know there are some
changes to this, but for some reason I can't get it, or I might be messing
with the wrong file. Any Help would be appreciated.

Allen
