Well, possibly he doesn’t have the hardware. FWIW, WinDbg runs on my
Win98 laptop just fine. Very handy for those situations when you just
can’t carry a mini-tower along with you.

The “terminal program” idea won’t work too well, though. Use WinDbg.
Just copy it from the DDK bin directory on your target.
