driver - hopefully the one that came with the usb disk, if not then
search for it on the net, should be one with it, often on a small cd

Do you have a digital camera with USB, that should also have a driver
disk for the usb so the files in the camera can be written as well as read...

>>   You can install an aftermarket USB card if your hardware does not have a physical USB port, and download a (USB) driver from your memory stick manufacturer for WIN98SE.

>>>well taking a screenshot of the data logging process in windows XP results in all of the data coming out in words (with the simple DOS borders coming out like ASCII art). I have since discovered that highlighting all of the 'picture' in microsoft word, converting it into a monospace text (courier new), and changing the size to 8 point (i think thats it anyway) results in an ASCII picture, with all relevant data in the appropriate columns. However taking a shot of anything with real graphics (like the bar graph tuning screen on haltech units) results in meaningless mumbo jumbo (same characters as opening the datalog files in text, maybe a link here?).
>>>
>>>Taking a screenshot in Windows 98 however results in a normal screenshot (i believe this is because windows XP runs a dos emulator in windows, rather than a visual version of dos, as 98 does). This really sucks because 98 can't use memory sticks, and the computer hooked up to the dyno doesnt have a cd burner. So i have to put it on floppy, which is a long forgotten (for good reason) art...

>>>Is it possible to tell a dos program to 'print' to a .txt file instead of the actual printer? as this would allow me to select the relevant data and put it into a word document for ease of viewing.
