Hi Irwin
The non default BIOS settings cause this problem as in writelog the
program
FPORT16.EXE
Sets the ini file to the DEFAULT bios setting and not those on the machine.
What I have is
[PORTS]
LPT1=0x378
LPT2=0xB000
LPT3=0xA800
I have renamed the File in writelog programs
FPORT16.exe To FPORT16DNU.old
This for some reason puts the default dos style LPT addresses in the
WRITELOG.INI even when they are wrong
It also allows you to use the Port setup as normal, which setting
writelog.ini to read only does not.

Subject: [WriteLog] LPT 2 for CW
I recently installed an Byterunner combination Com and LPT PCI card (System
is Win 98SE). Writelog recognizes all of the Com Ports (1 to 4), but will
only recognize LPT 1. I am able to print from LPT 2. Following Byterunners
suggestion, I ran their dos software that told me that LPT 2 is 0xEFF0.
Following the advise of members on this reflector, I then went and changed
the setting for LPT 2 from 0x000 to 0xEFF0 in the Writelog.ini file located
in Windows System files. I confirm the changes are saved. When every I then
open Writelog, it appears to overwrite the *.ini file and revert the changes
back to the original 0x000. LPT 2 port is still not available and when I
reopen the *ini file the changes are reverted back to the default setting of
0x000. I have also changed the CWPORT setting to that recommended in the
Help files. I have also tried reinstalling Writelog.
I would appreciate any assistance here as I want to use LPT 2 as a CW keyer
port.
I am using the latest version of Writelog.
Thanks, Irwin KD3TB
