Hallo Paul,
to steer the IF-100 (or FODTrack) you need hardware access to the PCs
parallel port. I suppose your OS is Windows XP. The hardware driver that
comes with Wisp32 (RR.dll) doesn't work on NT based Windows systems (Win
2000, XP, Vista). Hardware access under these OS requires a kernel driver.
SatPC32 (Wisat32, DDESat32 ) therefore use a kernel driver to steer the
IF-100 on these systems. So, you could use Wisp32 for data operation and
SatPC32 (Wisat32 or DDESat32) for rotor and radio control.
73s, Erich, DK1TB

You buy one and get one free that gets donated to some 3rd world
kid. They ran a one month special last year in Nov. Rumor is
that they will repeat the offer this november. I was super gung
ho. Bought 3 of them. Fantastic HAM radio laptop, has WIFI
built in, runs linux, cheap, color display designed for
visibility outside in the sun, low power, solar power or hand
crank, etc. The ideal ham radio application machine for
field/disaster work.
But after I invested $1200 in my three, darned if the greedy USA
companies then canceled the offer because they don't want these
nearly perfect, ultimately $100 laptops to undercut their
high-cost USA sales of comparable consumer laptops. So now only
a few of us have them. But again, rumor is they will repeat the
sale this november?

"OLPC" *is* the "One Laptop Per Child" project. These are small, low-powered
"kid sized" laptops that run a version of Linux, and are extremely rugged.
I had one for a few months and then sold it as it didn't meet my needs. I'm
not knocking it, but it was too small for me to use comfortably.

I think most folk with "OLPC" are referring to the linux distribution rather
than the actual laptops. You can download it and get the same thing. I guess
the reasoning would be that it's got a simple UI and mesh networking, etc,
etc.
