wtb old computer to use with my bk847 programmer

[charlesclaysburg]

i have a bk precision 847 4 gang programmer, and i have to find a older computer to use it with , it,s a dos system unit, so it needs a serial port, cd rom a plus.or usb reader option so i can add my rom files for fixing my roms for my games.windoews 95 and back will work,and dos 5and back too.i had one  and it  died on me. i was always tearing the drive out and loading new files to folders of the drive to use it. so if anyone has something laying on a shelf some where and you don,t need it anymore let me know , thanks in advance

what died on the old one? I often have old computer parts laying around.

Have you tried using it with a usb to serial port adapter and an older version of windows like 2000 or xp? Don't forget about the compatibility settings and there are also dosbox and other dos emulators.
