Yes, you will need some kind of driver for CW and either a
second serial port or the LPT because the TS-570 needs the
RS-232 handshake lines (RTS/CTS). Information on the driver
circuits are in the WriteLog help file. The interface is
nothing more than an NPN transistor (2N2222 or 2N3904) and
a resistor between 1.5K and 4.7K.
