Glad to hear you were able to get all the ports Jack. I have only had to buy
the ByteRunner card with 2 serial and 1 lpt port so far, and that has to be
around 12 years ago. If I do a format, I just go to their site and get XP
drivers. There is a different set for Win 2k. I need to go there and burn
them to a cd so just in case, I'll always have them. They even still sell
ISA ports. With the PCI card I have, it came with a disk for the drivers and
of course 12 years ago, Dos was still the OS a lot of us used for our ham
radio computers anyway. This has a Dos driver that takes some configuring,
with a small program written in Germany. I can think of only one program it
wouldn't work with. It loads what it calls "virtual drivers" at Dos boot up.
Sorry to get off on a non Ten Tec tangent. How about this, it always worked
great with my Omni 6 opt 3 !
73 and enjoy Dayton.
Mike, K9MI
