GM300 Software runs in XP Cmd Window

Post by taoswheat »

I was installing DosBox to run old Moto DOS RSS and came across an interesting solution. In two XP machines, if I run Free Serial Monitor downloadable from HHD Software and monitor the Com port, I can run GM300.exe in a normal XT Cmd Window and talk to a GM300 mobile. It will not run in the Cmd window unless Free Serial Port Monitor is monitoring the port. It also appear to work with other old Dos Moto programs but I don't have radios to test. Maybe this will help someone. Also, the GM300 software can be found with a careful Google search-FYI.
