I'm using a Compaq, with a +3400 AMD processor and windows XP Home and not
using any interface for CW or Rig control with N1MM software. I did take
and Old PCI card from my old box with 2 com 1 Lpt and put it into this
mach. Using the same CW/PTT Lpt keying ckt that I used with NA, It also
works with CT and TR. No fancy boxes

>>Hi Andy and all,
>>May I disagree with some of your statements given in the PDF presentation
>>regarding TRlog.
>>
>>In Advanced Features you did not mention one very important thing.
>>The unique feature of TRlog as compared to other contest loggers is the
>>possibility for non programmer to adapt TRlog for ANY contest. That means
>>that TRlog users do not have to rely upon someone else when they want to
>>enter one of the contests that are not internally supported by the logger.

>>As for Drawbacks
>>ï Need DOS machine
>>
>>Works just fine on Win98.
>>
>>ï Windows version not likely
>>
>>Although it is the work in progress (though most contest loggers are) here
>>is the link to TR4win
>>http://rescab.nm.ru/ TR4W is based on the original TRlog code.

>>> 4=NA
>>> 5=N1MM
>>> 6=Wintest
>>> 7=SD

>>> I also included the Contest University (CTU) PDF presentation given in

>>> Thanks for all the responses.
