How can I tell if the I-pac 4 will work with my pc in Dos mode?
RickDIII:
Ok, I'm finally getting ready to kick my project into gear and finally got the $$ to get some of the things I want. I was looking at the i-pac 4 for encoding. I am running a PII 500. I thought I would run it in straight up dos mode. Do I need to actually run windows?
From the Ultimarc site about the ipac 4:

How can I test if USB will work with DOS on my machine?
Thanks for all feedback!

Do you have a regular usb keyboard? If so plug it in and check it out. Why not just use it with the ps2 port though?

I thought the ipac 4 had to be used with usb. Did I miss where it says it can be used with PS2 port? ???

Yep, you probably missed it. From Andy's website:

Since you are using DOS, PS2 will probably be easier for you. Good luck. :D

You can order it as either USB or PS2. You confirm what one you want when you order. If your using DOS then I would recommend PS2 version. Even PS2 version if running 95/98/ME. USB worked with these, but they all had some troubles. 2000 and XP should be OK USB version.
