In addition to the issue of not being able to find a computer still running the DOS

operating system, many newer computers do not have serial ports available. It that case

you will need to use a third-party USB-to-Serial port convertor and configure the USB

port to answer up as COM1 or COM2.

Tip

Because Zetron has some experience with the Tripp Lite brand of

USB-to-Serial port convertor and was able to test it in this

application, it is recommended that you obtain one of these,

either from Zetron (part number 802-0487) or from you local

vendor of Tripp Lite products (manufacturer part number

U209-000-R).

 USB-to-Serial port setup for Windows 7:

1. Install your USB-to-Serial convertor in the USB port in which you intend to use

it.

2. Open the Start menu and click on the Control Panel link. In the Control Panel

window, configure the View property to the Large Icons setting.

3. Locate and click on the Device Manager icon to open the Device Manager

dialog box.

4. In the Device Manager dialog box, expand the Ports (COM & LPT) item in the

tree. Find the USB-to-Serial COM port entry and double-click on it. In the

Properties dialog that opens, click on the Port Settings tab and configure the

serial port settings as follows:

bits per second: 9600

data bits: 8

parity: None

stop bits: 1

flow control: None

5. Click on the Advanced button at the bottom of the list of Port Settings. In the

Advanced Settings dialog that opens, use the COM Port Number: list box at

the bottom of the dialog to assign the USB port the convertor is plugged into as

either COM1 or COM2. Click the OK button in the Advanced Settings dialog

and then the OK button in the Port Properties window. When finished, close all

of the dialog boxes back out to the desktop.

In some cases, there may be conditions that force your hand and require that the Dosbox

configuration file be placed in some other location or that the serial port be pointed at

some other port than COM1 or COM2. For tips on how to handle these situations see

Editing the M360KA.conf File on page 45.
