Hi,

You can use an additional interface driver when you run WIN NT or other 'downgraded' (right!!) operating systems. Such a driver is available as shareware at: http://www.entechtaiwan.com/

A description (in german) how to use this can be found in:

Another alternative is to write programs in Delphi 1. I am running lots of applications in this way.

Have fun
