If you run Windows your best bet would be the windows based install
‘qnxrtp.exe’

You could boot from the CD if you BIOS supports it but
that’ss far as you can go. QRTP itself doesn’t support CDROM
via parallel port.

Oh boy,
it realy won’t. I’d like to try it on a toshiba T2100CS i486/75 24 MB
and a harddrive of enormous 350 MB ;-(
Actually i had the demo disk running on it and was really supprised what
that qnx was showing up.
But, who knows. After time went by linux was implementing the parport and
qnx might grow as well.
So far thank’s folks.

I sell a driver for a parallel port cdrom for QNX 4. I may
port it when I get the Neutrino specs.
