If you have a supporting local dealer, ask for a quote on a Linux/CNC10 flash card and instructions for changing over. The CF cards don't always play well as slave drives, and card corruption is possible if you have both the Windows hard drive and the DOS CF card thinking they are master on the same IDE cable.

If for some reason you want to install your IDE Compact Flash adapter into the Windows computer, plug it in as the only drive on the secondary IDE cable (with the Windows boot drive as the primary master). The Linux-based CNC10 software will work with your original ISA-bus CPU7 card, and supports USB thumb drives.

Motherboard support (especially for network adapters) is not guaranteed, but is more likely than not. That being the case, there is a good chance you can move to Linux-based CNC10 software instead. If you have Windows XP running on the new computer, then it probably has at least a 500MHz processor and at least 256MB memory. Best to pick one or two types (SanDisk Cruzer among them), install the driver, and stock up. Of course, with Windows 98 you need specific drivers for most USB thumb drives.

The nearest you can come to that type of solution is Windows 98. It is another thing to dismiss or especially delete items where incorrect manuals, errors in board labeling, old passwords etc. The DOS-based CNC7 software will not run in Windows XP. It's Centroid's choice to use a public or at least customer based forum to help out with the workload in customer support.
