Hi Folks
My existing PC is stu..ed and I need to replace it, probably with a Pentium
PIII/450 or somesuch.
I don't do a lot of work with PC programming, mostly embedded uP software
but from time to time need to provide clients with PC interfaces and for that
I find Delphi V/1.0 adequate, or even TP/V6.0 under DOS which does just as good
a job in most cases with one tenth or less the PC resources.
Problem is, if I upgrade I will have Windows 98/2, and I understand a crippled
version of DOS. I also won't have my current hard working and reliable
Windows 3.11
OS to rely on.
I still need to support earlier DOS and Win 3.11 programs
Is it possible to take my existing hard drive from my old PC, install it as a
secondary drive in the new machine and obtain some software somewhere that will
allow me the option of booting from the old drive for DOS and Win 311 or
from the new
drive for Win9x ? and do ant new PC program development with later Delphi
versions ?
I am aware that a program such as V-Com's System Commander may be the best
way to
go but my old drive would otherwise be discarded and might as well be
transferred
into the new box.
Your advice and suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Colin
