I recently upgraded the computer I use with Writelog to one of the latest ASUS 
motherboards (P5K Premium).  After doing this upgrade I experienced nothing but 
disfunction in using RittyRite through USB/Serial devices; PCI serial cards and 
also the single native com1 port on the motherboard.  Most of the faults showed 
up as  blue screen errors that indicated a crashed system as well as framing 
errors, parity errors, and bit (level) errors.   Very frustrating.   I tried a 
number of different solutions to no avail.   

The solution was found when I used one of the PCI-E "short slot" busses with a 
card purchased from New Egg over the internet.  The cost was approximately $35 
and the company who made the card is BYTECC (part # BT-PE2S).   The card has 
worked with all versions of RittyRite and there are no driver problems 
associated with the card.   My understanding is that the PCI-E handles 
interrupts in a different manner than a standard PCI buss.  

Hope this helps people who might experience similar problems.

Ben, KR6E
