Title: DOS version
Post by Tompion on Jul 29^th, 2008, 2:50pm

It says on the main Scorpio site that VE will run on MS-DOS.
Does anyone have a copy of the dos version? as I can't find it at http://www.obd-2.com/

Hi Paul
No not tried, I'll give it a go.

Just wondered if it might be quicker on my old laptop & whether the contrast might be better in the sunlight.
Apart from that I'd just like to try it :)

Well windows 3.1 is not like 98 and above as it does allow sofware direct control of hardware and interfaces.
So you could use that and it would run faster.

Should be fun for you to revisit windows 3.1 a bit like Traveling in the Tardis!!!
