1) I just replaced my Motherboard and when I put my SIIG dual serial back
in, it came out something like Com 8 & 9. The board was on Com 3 & 4 before
the MB swap. Apparently the registry was holding Com 3 & 4 open. Don't
know if it was because I put the card in a different PCI slot or what. All
I did was to go to the system and change it back to Com 3 & 4 and rebooted
to see what would happen. It complained, but it moved it successfully and
was there when I rebooted. If you have a modem on Com 3 you might have to
move it first or remove it until you get Com 3 & 4 settled down and then
reinstall it. I had to do that a while back on my old computer running
Win98SE. I am now using XPpro on a 1500 Athlon I built last winter.
2) W.R.T the cw keying, look through the archives. I did what others are
doing and it worked fine on LPT1.

Subject: [WriteLog] Windows XP Home Questions
Two questions:
1) Byte Runner Serial Card - I purchased a new PC running Windows XP
Home and moved my byterunner PCI-200L com card to the new PC. Using
the drivers I found on the Byterunner web site, the card was installed
as Com's 4 and 5. Since writelog does not recognize anything beyond
Com 4, I need to rename the port 5 to port 3. I could not find any
instruction on Byterunners web site.
2) Does anyone have a drive that will allow Writelog to address the
parallel port for CW keying under Windows XP? I have a CW LPT
interface cable from K1NU that I used with my older windows 98SE pc.
Will this cable work with Windows XP?
Thanks, Irwin KD3TB
