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.

Is the emulation software updated for XP? It sounds like it is still trying
to read config.sys, not config.nt.
