[CQ-Contest] Anyone have problems with XP SP2 and Byterunner PCIserial boards?

[Rex Maner]

Barry   I  don't know  Beans about  Byterunner but  I had lots of crashes 
during   7QP   it turned out to be one of those  USB  to  COM adaptors that 
was pluged into the TS870 for rig/freq control  .
I took it out of the line and all went fine with   AANARTS  and no crashes 
.
