On my mal about a 9500-Version of the
PCXT-DOS-Emulator XTM
( http://www.nb-info.co.uk/index.htm )
I get the following answer:

#####################################
Thank you for your interest in XTM.

We are still considering whether to make a version of XTM for the Nokia 9500. To be honest we have not had
many people asking for a 9500 version, and until we see a bit more interest we are not likely to spend the time
and money it would take to make and test a 9500 version.

You should check back with our web site in a few weeks time, when we will update it with our plans for the 9500.

Regards,

NB Info Support Team

#####################################

So I ask here: How is your interest in a 9500 Version
of this Emulator (which is already out for the 9210) ?

If you are interested, please mail NB Info about your
Interest, so they can see, that this is wanted !!

The Adress is: [email][email protected][/email]

If you mail to them you maybe could include suggestions
e.g. adding a Hotkey to toggling of FULL SCREEN MODE.
Thanks lots !

Nice to get a reply, I emailed them about it when the 9500 was first released but didn't get a response.

I'd love to see it ported to the 9500, as i'm sure many people would...good idea to get people to email in.

I'll post elsewhere if you don't mind?!?

Wow, this would be amazing. It would mean I can run my Windows DOS operating system on my Nokia 9500. :tongue:

This Emulator will only run DOS and no Windows (maybe only Windows v1 😊 ).

However Standard PC-XT-Applications (not 286 / 386 Mode !) will run fine,
e.g. the DOS-Version of the AskSam-Database-Program.

Here you can download a FREEWARE-Disk-Image for the XTM:

http://luzie.gmxhome.de/9210/drivea.dsk

(INSTALLATION: Just put in directory D:/XTM/ and install nXTM)

We have tried it on the 9500, but after booting it says Font-Files are missing.

We have tried it with instaliung the font-files that can be downloaded in the support-section of the XTM-makers NB INFO.

But when starting the emulator with a (on the correct 9210 booting)
Disk-Image, this resets the 9500 Sad

I have little hope that XTM could be made running without recompilling / adapting it to the 9500....
