True Oh Dan, but Tom has said that his Toshiba's 2 USB ports are broken...

Now that I've got it, as I am a lucky ow= ner of an old Toshiba laptop with Win98 system and broken both USB port and= CD drive, I'm trying to find a way to transfer the files to the laptop and= launch them. I will let you know when I succeed with the ewt-to-igc conver= sion, as there is one particular flight from 1997 I'm very curious to look = at, my shortest ever non-crash landing/roll-out on approx. 10 meters in a P= W-5. That souunds like hard work as you have to transfer your files in, convert them and then transfer out again and all without using CD or USB! Will your 64-bit PC boot from a USB stick (I have one that will and one that won't)? If it will, then go to https://rufus.ie/ and use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive, nothing to install. Now copy CONV-EWA.EXE and your EW file to the USB. You can now Boot from it and convert your files. Reboot you 64-bit PC and copy the files from the USB stick. If you cannot boot from USB, then download and install the DOSBOX App (it's free!) and follow the procedure in: http://www.ukiws.demon.co.uk/GFAC/do...ithout_DLL.pdf It all works, and I have tried it out. Tim. Thanks, Tim, sounds interesting and I will give it a try. The old Toshiba laptop is worth keeping anyway for some other old software, partly MS-DOS, and it's D-Sub RS232 port. The CD drive actually works but it's read-only. The 3.5" floppy drive is working OK and I have just ordered an external FDD for my modern PC (should arrive tomorrow, Monday) - who would think that I will be using the floppies again! I'm also trying to remember how the old laptop connected to the internet - can't find the RJ45 socket and not sure it has a Wi-Fi capacity. -- Dan, 5J |
