The how i can to programing any help or information is welcome! :)

Regards, many thanks from Chile, Chiloé-island

Do you have a real RS-232 port, or only a USB to Serial cable? Emulation software cannot make software designed to do bit twiddling on a 16550 work on a USB port, and your programmer software may be waiting for a hardware interrupt that will never happen because you don't have a real UART.

Dear Friend .Thank for you time
Yes. I have Real Rs 232, also i´m programing with my lovely Rib of many Years. But this is the message " error floating pint value"
I do not know what to do:(
regards

My next guess is that your computer is too fast for the program. The program is likely trying to calibrate a hardware delay loop, by measuring how long it takes to perform a reference operation, then dividing by that time to set the number of times to loop to delay an operation. If your computer is too fast, the reference operation takes zero timer ticks to run, and when the code then divides by zero - floating point error.

See if you can run on a slower machine.

OK friends. I find out in the Internet, and many people say " is better run the rss in DOS or maybe in Win 95" is more easy what in Xp.
Many Thanks dear friend, If you know other form to run the program in win Xp or emule please say me ( Dos-box) I will be happy.
PD: i don´t know nothing to program pc, c++, binary, code error , but I try to find solution at least be in English

For that RSS program you need a slower 286 -486 computer running REAL DOS. DOS 6.xx is recommended.

If your Win 98 computer IS slow enough, boot to/run from DOS prompt.

The older RSS wil not run on a Pentium CPU.
