Raw begginer wants to see if his STARTURN5 will work

Post by Len-tikular » Thu 26 Mar , 2009 22:06 pm

I did! I searched and got bogged down and probably can't see wood for trees.

I aquired a Starturn5, I have Downloaded some software but now I'm stuck.

The ST5 is complete with black box. Here are my questions.

Firstly, I want the quickest route to get the machine running.
Can I run the software under Windows.
Which version windows.
Which software.
Is there an easy sotware install routine.

Learn what you don't know and share what you do know.

Thanks in anticipation.

I agree its very confusing and unfortunately I can't make things much clearer because I've no experience of this vintage machine and can't say exactly what you need to get it running.
What I do have are some useful links:
