I have attempted to install a driver for DOS, but to no avail.
With regards to the computer issue of numbers, we have three computers that require
the running of the CAD. Currently, the major problem, that I am up against, is the
fact that this is DOS-based. There is a Windows version of the CAD software, but
I am up against the constraints of the Accountants of the Company as well. The company
who manufactures the CAD software, Lisec Software, will sell us the Windows version,
for $11,000. Because we are running two Lisec cutting tables, we *must* use their
CAD in order to allow the tables to cut the shapes made. Since the Accountants will
not willingly fork out the $11,000 for the new version at this time, I am forced
to attempt to make work the version I have. Unfortunately, as can be identified,
the difficulty is the issue of the middle button in this matter. We have contacted
Lisec in an effort to find out how to make the middle button work, we had two answers:
1. Find an XP driver that will emulate DOS and allow the third button to function.
2. Upgrade our software for $11,000
As you might be able to tell, the Accountants' response is to make work what we have...
