Not possible, my Rebel auto232 attempts under Win95 don't work so I played under DOS6.22. >>My conclusion is that I will stop testing at least Rebel10 with auto232, > >As far as I know it doesn't occur much. Maybe you should do more testing? I don't see the reason. If it does not work properly I should stop. But as Hiarcs7 and Rebel are DOS programs I started a last try with Shredder2 whose autoplayer is said to work properly. >>and you guys who can't resist should carefully take a look at the games and the nps. > >And I wonder about the "other" programs.
