I hope you know about disk images, they're basically dumps of whole floppies or hard disks to a file, partition table, headers, file allocation table, root directory, and all. There are basically two steps: Mount a disk image, then boot from it. I'd have to try a new dir with only the EXE, and see what else it yells for, if anything. I could probably post the pcad exe itself.I think it's only 300-400K, if I remember right. It may be great for the 1% exclusive-club, but 99% of the people in the world can't make use of it, and never get a chance to appreciate the coding-skills etc.so 99% of the stuff on sourceforge just sits there and never gets used and loved.unfortunately.Īppreciate you taking a look at this pcad/psave thing. So I'm not totally ignorant software-wise.īut not much on sourceforge is written from a motivation to be CLEAR and EASY TO USE to those who are NOT C-programmers. I have worked with computers since keying in my first octal on the front-panel of a DEC PDP-11/45 in 1974.and have written various small things in BASIC and 8086/6502/PIC assy over the years, for testing hardware products. I find much of the sourceforge stuff to be simply impenetrable as if it's purposely written to be obscure understandable only to linux/C programmers.keep the club exclusive or whatever. I don't know anything about "CVS", sorry.

#PCAD 2006 SERIAL KEY HOW TO#

I didn't find anything about HOW to load/run/start a regular DOS within DosBox.

#PCAD 2006 SERIAL KEY DRIVERS#

I believe that the pcad exe's are loading the drivers themselves.

#PCAD 2006 SERIAL KEY WINDOWS#

I don't think it's anything that modifies the actual app EXE's.Īnyway, I thought there might be a conflict between the mouse usage in windows being on COM-1, and the PSAVE/PCAD trying to use COM1 (although I never had problems in that regard on native DOS), so I changed PCAD's config to look for dongle on COM2.

I also noticed that if I type "PSAVE" at the dos prompt after it's been loaded once, it tells me: "PSAVE 1.3b already in memory!".so it's obviously some kind of TSR that probably intercepts I/O to the COM-port. I didn't really see anything else in the config that I thought would affect things.Įdit2: I checked PCAD's own config, and there's a field for selecting which COM-port the dongle is on so it was definitely a serial-type system. (I can't remember for sure, but I think this was a serial-port type dongle system). I'm wondering if one of you guys would be willing to take a quick look at this PSAVE thing and see what it's trying to do, that DosBox isn't emulating quite right.Įdit: PS, I meant to include that I went through each item in the DosBox config file turned off the sound-emulation to save cycles, tried several settings for the 'cpu type' all the way to dynamic, and made sure that the 'direct serial' emulation was set to 'true'. Two different graphics-mode programs one for schematics and one for board-layouts.two different messages. And PCAD -starts- fine.īut when it leaves the initial menu and goes into graphics-mode to actually edit a board, I get the "Security device not found" message, or the "Security device port not found". And PSAVE -looks- like it's running fine. I've downloaded and installed DosBox, and was pleased at how smoothly it went.

#PCAD 2006 SERIAL KEY PC#

You run PSAVE, then you start PCAD.Īll I have for a PC now is an HP6000 Omnibook laptop (we're living off-grid in a cabin in the mountains now) running windows2000. I've run it on a dozen different PC's from a 386-25, to 486's, to a dual Pentium-Pro, to the last one, an HP Visualize dual-Xeon workstation. I'm not sure what this PSAVE does exactly, but it can't be much, because it is -tiny-.only about 3K. A company called "Safesoft" made it.out of Canada I think.

#PCAD 2006 SERIAL KEY SOFTWARE#

So everyone who used this software back then always bought the "dongle eliminator" software called PSAVE. The damn thing never did work right and the keys had a nasty habit of failing after a while. Īnyway, originally this software used some stupid dongle-system where there was a "chassis" which took up to a dozen plug-in "keys". I need to modify it because some of the parts aren't even available any more. Now I am trying to get it running so that I can modify an old board design and make another small batch. I'm trying to run an old PCB-layout software called PCAD 4.55 which I have owned for many years and in which I have done almost a hundred circuit-board layouts since the 1980's. The forum titled "Games/Apps" didn't seem to cover Apps either. I spent some time reading the FAQ, and looking through a number of the forums here but I couldn't find anything related to Apps.just games. Have any of you guys ever tested DosBox with any dongles or dongle-eliminator software?
