Hi Jason,
Check

Printer port access is not directly listed
in the specs BUT there is a tech support message re. a particular printer not
printing which would suggest the printer port is at least accessible. Either
way it looks like it will only cost you $25 to find out. The link below is for
the 15 day evaluation version is below.

If that doesn’t work for you drop me
a note off list and I’ll rummage thru the back of the stock room and see
if I have an old PC that might do the job.
Cheers
Nick..

Subject: [ISOGEOCHEM] Running
PrismUp with an Emulator
Here is a crazy question that will not pertain to most people with
modern mass spec operating systems!
Has anyone ever experimented with or gotten PrismUp to run on
a modern computer using an emulator? I have got it to start using DosBox
and gotten the processor speed correct but it fails as the dongle can not be
read because DosBox does not support parallel ports. Any help or
suggestions of emulators would be great.
I am running my Prism II mass spec with OS/2 Dual Inlet 2.4 inside Parallels on
an WinXP machine. My goal is to also run PrismUp with an emulator inside
Parallels on the same WinXP machine. This will allow me to get rid of 2
aging and difficult to maintain computers.
(For those who don't know and are curious, PrismUp is a DOS translation
program that VG used for some of its OS/2 based machines in the mid
1990's. It runs on a dedicated computer that sits between the mass spec
microprocessor and the mass spec operating system. All it does it
translate commands and responses back and forth.)
Thanks in
advance for any help. Jason
