Dear Dr. McLaughlin, I guess I wasn't very clear in my recent posting about using an HP 890C Deskjet printer with System II software. We have two PC's hooked up to our HP 890C printer through an automatic switchbox. One computer is a Win 98 Pentium that we use for analysis and administrative kinds of work. The other computer is hooked up to the XL. The XL's computer was set up by Coulter to be bootable in both Win 95 or in DOS, but we MUST boot the machine in DOS to use the System II software. According to the Coulter tech, the DOS part of the hard-drive is, in effect, "hidden" away from the Win 95 part, because Win 95 is a real operating system which would take over DOS if it could. The System II software does not work in the "pseudo-DOS" that comes with Win95. I'm not sure why. Anyway, we occasionally use the XL's computer in Win 95 mode to ftp listmode files or to do analysis with WinMidi, but we do most of our analysis on the other Win 98 PC using WinMidi,Verity WinList or ModFit. Coulter does have software available, called EXPO, that can run the flow and do analysis in Win 95 mode. However, I like System II better for running the flow, and the Verity and WinMidi software for analysis. You can download WinMidi at http://facs.scripps.edu/software.html and the Verity site is at http://www.vsh.com/. Phoenix Flow Systems also sells analysis software, http://www.vsh.com/.
