Hello,

Some how got WL to activate LPT1.  However, the Radio1/2 signal doesn't 
seem to be sent to LPT1 or LPT1 isn't transmitting it to the DB25 parallel 
connector.  Using XP and V10.59.

The SO2R device (homemade) does switch when the computer is turned on or 
when changing the LPT1 to LPT2 in the Device Manager, the SO2R device 
switches as the change is recognized by the computer. So there seems to be 
an electrical connection between the computer's LPT(?) and the SO2R device.

Some additional info. just found out about the WL.ini set-up that allowed 
LPT1 to show up.  The WL.ini has LPT2=BCD0xBCD7.  LPT1 is in the 
WL.ini.  Again, WL ports has only LPT1 activated.  Tried changing LPT2 to 
LPT1 in WL.ini using the same settings, BCD0-BCD7, but then WL doesn't show 
LPT1 active in the Ports setup.

Also, .  Doesn't matter what the LPT port setting is trying to get WL to 
send the signal to select left/right radio.

Any suggestions on what to look for to get the LPT(?) to switch the SO2R 
device?

         73,
