I too run the DXDoubler and Writelog.
A great parallel port control software for Win7 is Port95nt
it can be downloaded at http://www.driverlinx.com/DownLoad/DlPortIO.htm
SIIG makes some very nice quality PCI type converter cards with parallel
port(s) of which I have a couple,
they work fine on the DXD.
Also, for rs-232 rig control, fsk etc the SIIG PCI Quartet (4 port) com port
cards, they also make single and dual rs-232 cards.
I have found some good deals on eBay over the last few years for SIIG products.
Have purchased enough of them now that I feel it's safe to let the secret out,
ha...
