Jim,

As Arie pointed out, SDR needs to run under DOS because Windows disables
interrupts for long periods of time. This causes SDR to loose time. You can
run everything on one computer, you can run SDR under DOS, exit SDR and
then boot to Windows to run WinQuake. Not very eloquent...The best thing to
do is network two systems and have the SDR system place event files on the
drive of the system running Windows and WinQuake. The disadvantage is you
need to run two systems all of the time.

Since SDR only needs a DOS system to run, a 66mhz 486 system is perfect for
data logging and at this point very cheap, if not free. The only problem
with older 486's is most are not Y2K compliant. A Y2K card can fix this or
you can set the time each time the system reboots.

Hope this helps...
