Title: dos command for lon card ZT 14C92 to connect chassis dynomometer
Post by: ggcheng on January 08, 2019, 03:42:42 AM
i have RAM-XX DYNO from the 90s, it operates by RAMXX software and connects the DYNO via Lon card ZT 14CT92. system is DOS 6.22.
unfortunately the original PC lost it's memory due to battery failure and the PC has since been destroyed.
i have a newer PC operating DOS 6.22. RAMXX software is loaded using original floppy. the LON card has been installed but when RAMXX program is opened it cannot connect to the DYNO. all cables are connected as normal when working before PC failure.
i am not totally DOS savvy but do have a PC teck who is. unfortunately he cannot help with the command lines needed to couple PC to DYNO.
if anyone could help please reply, thank you.

Looks like its made by snap-on tools. Have you been in contact with them to see if they have a manual for its configuration/installation??

My thoughts on this is that it could be a serial null type connection that isn't set up correctly and that might be why its not working.

Hi

It may be if it is this card http://www.cpuboards.com/zt14ct92 . You may need to have an option in the bios to reserve a 16k page of memory for use by the card.

If you can copy  here listings of the Config.sys and autoexec.bat files from the install floppy or the hard drive we can check them for the above. 

Was the original computer like this one https://www.bidspotter.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/bsccm/catalogue-id-bsccm10027/lot-166d9b9f-d019-447c-bee6-a47c012d2d66

Also what Graphics card did the original program run under? we may be able to sort this out from the above files.

 Also can I have the specs of the replacement computer, motherboard CPU, memory.
