Gen 6 working on IBM thinkpad41(win XP) is it in DOS?
Calmap is working on my IBM thinkpad41(winXP) does this mean the computer has DOS already in it?

As stated above, most Windows computers can run "DOS" programs, the tricky part is if Calmap will access your serial port properly. I have had minimal success with most USB to Serial adapters I have tried.

You'll have to play with the port speed. I reccommend buying a serial PCM card instead of trying USB. Simpler to change speeds on.

Re: Gen 6 working on IBM thinkpad41(win XP) is it in DOS?
I use the docking station that came with the laptop( has female 9 pin already) . I slowed down the port 1 speed to 1200 baud and 6 bits and I can program everything now. I was having a problem with the base fuel map pulse widths but its all resolved with the slower speed now.
