Hey guys,
I have a xts3000 that I'm trying to back up the SREC and tuning values. I have the asto tuner and CPS so I screen shot and wrote all the tuning values down, and of course have a copy of my plug, but I learned about the srec stuff and how it can save your bacon in some cases. I'm a noob at this but did some research. I have the mtsxlab and it runs on a xp's shell cmd prompt when I click on the runtime.exe but doesnt read the radio (as it shouldnt.) I read the only way to do it right is pure dos. So I loaded another harddrive up with win98 and shutdown to DOS but when I eventually bumble through (and I do mean bumble as my first experience with dos besides oregon trail is DSD) I get the program to initalize at first but it errors out to "can't open file: runtime.odb" but runtime.odb seems to be there in the program folder. So this is hopefully more of a Dos question than a "touchy program" question.
Basially the program will open on win98 and xp if I click on the runtime.exe a la windows but I can't figure out how to get it to run on Dos (or dosbox which gets the same error) where it will work. I'm a total noob so don't rule out the obvious but any ideas? I'd really appreciate it, as I've been trying to acomplish this the past few days. It feels like the first time I started programming a scanner.
