Hi Jim,

As I understand, SDR uses interrupts for timing. This timing interrupt must have priority
over "windows" but  "Windows" wont allow this. Thus "SDR" should be run in a "Dos" only
mode. One easy solution is to run a second computer networked to your "Windows" machine.
This (+486) computer runs "SDR" in a Dos only mode. Larry's has some good Doc's on this.
Winquake can request files from the "SDR" computer while you have full windows functionality.
I use this method all the time and it works well.

Regards

Arie
