Greetings fellow Writeloggers. I just purchased a new computer and am trying
to set up Writelog again.
My previous computer OS was Windows 95. I had been using a W1WEF CW interface
(using the printer port). According to the WL website, Windows XP does not
allow the use of the printer port for keying. I would prefer not to use the
printer port anyway, so that I don't have to unplug the printer when
contesting. I'm able to key the transmitter through the printer port when
using DX4WIN on this same Windows XP computer, that's strange.
My new computer has numerous USB ports. Can the USB ports be used for this
purpose, or do I need to purchase a board to add serial ports? Is there an
adapter to allow me to keep using the W1WEF (25 pin) interface?
Thanks in advance for your help!
73,
Tom, NU7J
