Much easier if your colleague could make a Windows - I've forgotten the proper term - 'wrapper?' to go around the original DOS software. The main problem is gaining full speed access (through Windows) to the parallel port which few modern machines will have in any case.
If he could just make something that would work in 95 or 98 id be happy with that but he thinks he can get something working on XP too, I've said to him to aim for a P4 (most have proper parallel ports) running XP as the newest machine. it may be some time before we have anything as he's just taken on a huge NHS contract but you all keep your fingers crossed he can come up with something.
