While TRLog is the ONLY contest software (except for RTTY) that I use and
it doesnt care about IRQ's.I think the problem here would be that the PLUG
and Play bios and WIN98, WOULD care and would register another card as a
conflict with often unpredictable results. Also I use the computer to run
the hamshack the rest of the time with other windows based software for
many of the other tasks including logging, packet spotting etc, not just
contests. Things are a lot cleaner if I can solve this in Hardware not
software.
