[DeTomaso] program compatability question

[Göran Malmberg]

Most of the time all efi boxes are DOS stuff. That means they will not 
really
become "online" working over Windows. In fact windows 95 works the best
since it is the least complex. I did add "DOSbox" for XP and this made in 
function
properly exept for the online timing delay of about a sec.
So, I went to ELFA which is an electronic shop in Sweden to buy a number of
1,5V acc:s for a number of 14v, put it in the emptyed laptop acc shell and 
it
turned out great. Even providing doubble working time. Lap top was an early 
90
IBM.
