Default DOS Data

Sorry Mike, I meant that nothing in the startup menu was running and this
seems to allow transmitting or Sync.

False. With Win Me for DOS you need to boot from a floppy otherwise you
are simply running in a window, Safe Mode or not.

This might be of some use to someone. If you can't transmit or Sync
data to and from an external device, while using a DOS program in
Windows, and you're sure the cable is hooked up to the com/port and
secure, try this. Go into "true command prompt". This is not the one
in Accessaries. You need Windows completly closed. In '98 it's a shut
down option. In ME, open in Safe Mode, then Accessaries, MS DOS
Prompt. Make sure everything is set to be compatible (bits, parody,
transfer speed etc.). Voila! Your old reliable (Casio Boss?) still
has some miles left.
