  • Blue Wave Reader under Windows 7 (32-bit)

    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Sat Mar 5 23:33:15 2011
    Hello, All.

    I decided to try setting the Blue Wave Reader (BWAVE386.EXE) on my Windows 7 box. I installed the latest DOSBox and then installed a neat program called DOSShell which allows me to have one-click access to all of my favorite DOS programs and DOSShell automatically configures DOSBox to work with the DOS program.

    I copied my BW setup to the system's hard drive, set it up under DOSShell and it works wonderfully-in full-screen mode! Yes, it's very nice to have a reader in full-screen mode. At least something I can keep from the past on there. :P

    I did install "XP Mode" but it's running quite slow; I'm installing W7 SP1 right now to see if things will work better.

    Later,
    Sean
