- What radios do you own?: HT1550's, X9000's, CDM1550's
Re: Programming with this type Computer
if you have the latest version of the rss and cps then you could get away with pentium 2 or 3. it depends on your software but i use a p2 450 for those radios all day long with no problems.

I never check PM's so don't bother, just email me.
I won't reply to a hotmail, gmail, aol or any other generic free address, if you want me to reply use a real address.
STOP ASKING ME FOR SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE, I JUST FORWARD ALL OF THE REQUESTS TO THE MODERATORS

What operating system would you recommend?
What should I look for in your opinion?

Re: Programming with this type Computer
Do a "search" here on this board.
I just ran a search for "RSS + operating system" and got
1,563 hits.
There are two kinds of RSS, one for DOS-only and the other
for GUI (Windows) machines. Most of the earlier radios use
the DOS-only RSS. The DOS-only RSS usually won't run
under the imitation DOS found on Windows machines, so if
you need DOS you need to download DOS 6.22 and then boot
from it.
The old IBM machine you listed is not practical for RSS programming.
It is far too slow. For DOS-only work, find a good 386 or 486
computer; they're plentiful in the used market, and can sometimes
be had for next to nothing.
Tell us more about what you're trying to do and someone can
then give you more specific answers.
