To the digger who was asking, I had a brain brown-out and deleted your
message, but you might try Puppy Linux on your older PC - crikey dick,
it's even Australian!

You can get information on a load of different Linux distributions at
http://distrowatch.org/. FOr the last few years I've been using Ubuntu as it
does a decent job of detecting hardware and automatically
installing/configuring the required device drivers. What you could do is to
boot your machine using a "LiveCD" which will let you run Linux without
having to install it. Its a quick way to find out whether all of your
hardware is supported and will let you test your logging and Elecraft
control software. You may need to "install" (ie. add to the running LiveCD)
dosemu and/or Wine to run any dos or Windows (respectively) programs to do
your tests.
