Toshiba EW-100

From what I have seen in casios site, it needs a 16bit cpu and version 3 of DOS. I cannot see why your friend cannot try to migrate to a more recent computer for his EPROM writing. Basically that is all the info i could get out of a site written in japanese and it was the only hit I got when I searched your case.

Hope I helped,

I would venture to say that it is possible to copy the software to another system IF the OS requirements are compatible. By up to date... do you mean Pentium class or better? If so, you need to be aware that most WP apps on older machines use either proprietary OS's or older versions of DOS. If it is proprietary, then I don't think you can migrate the software. If it uses DOS, then you need to remember that some DOS apps don't fully function (or function properly) in a Win9x environment. Best thing to do would be to snag the software and test out this theory.

Ok here goes my $0.02 :

If Toshiba has some version of MS-DOS, you can try the following: copy the software onto diskettes and the to your "new" computer (maybe running Win95/98 ?) and try to execute it. If it fails with some message like "Incorrect DOS version" you can try running:
SETVER your_program_name Toshiba_DOS_version
Don't forget to put the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
device=c:\windows\setver.exe

If that doesn't solve the problem, or if the Toshiba machine has some other OS it's gonna be very hard to copy the program...

Good Luck

If the translation of the website from Japanise-English would help I can do it for you, E-mail me if you want me to.
