If you have the DXD working with a computer and a Yaesu radio now, it should
work fine as is: I’m relatively confident Yaesu has been consistent with the
microphone pin-outs.
But if your computer, as with many modern computers, lacks an LPT port, you’ll
need an LPT emulator such as the SO2Rxlat from Piexx. It’s a USB to LPT
translator.
Top Ten specifies the SO2Rxlat as a suitable interface.
