Hi,
I picked up an old Kansas City Tracker, circa 1990, and was wondering if
there is any way to use it with a modern computer. It is designed to plug
into the ISA slot of a PC. I don't know much about computers, but my
Bill,
That ISA to USB board is listed at $149 (very slick, and nice find). However,
a spiffy, brand new LVB Tracker with LCD display and USB interface from AMSAT
is $200 as I recall. You can probably guess my recommendation ;)
Another issue is drivers---while I don't recall the specifics,
Bill,
Great card in its day, though it did have a VERY loud signal on the low end
of two meters. I could hear mine half a mile away. It was a DOS-era card,
and you will probably find conflicts with modern versions of Windows. For
about the $150 for an ISA-to-USB card, you can get a modern,
at billdz@yahoo.com.
