would appreciate if I could get help with my problem. The Bios battery in my
"ancient" Laptop Compaq NX5000 died and since being re-activated I have been
unable to transmit the contents of the Message Buffers (acessed with Function
keys) The setup here is Writelog (V11.20D), Elecraft K3, Compaq NX5000 Laptop
running WinXP Pro and I/O-Direct software to support the LPT keying function.
Writelog does "talk" to the K3 with Freq information and tracks any variation
in frequency. However, I am unable to have the "greyed out" LPT Port Option
opened to accept LPT keying. I list below the various settings to assist with
efforts to help with this problem, these being :-
Writelog Options
Startup Option Port Setup
Com1 - selected (I believe that because the LPT was not accessible this was
selected by default)
CW Keyer Type - PC Generates selected
CW PTT Control CW only
On LPT pin16/ COMM RTS
Writelog.ini file
CW Type = 2
CW Port=1
CW_ON_PIN1=1
CWPTTCONTROL=2
CWPTTDELAY=30
CWPTTIDLE=256
COMM1USED=CW,Poll,60
Direct-I/O
IO Ports - 378-37F
IRQ=7
Security = c:\Program Files\Writelog\Programs\Writel.32.exe
I appreciate that the "default" Comm1 settings/data correlate to the inability
to access the LPT1 Port. BTW the Compaq lLaptop has one LPT output, 1 Serial
Port and 2 USB Ports.
Thanks in advance to any assistance, thoughts, ideas that you may have. My 70+
year old brain has given up on this !!.
