[ct-user] CT with USB ports

[Ed Parish K1EP]

Will you be running DOS?  Probably not.  USB isn't supported under DOS and you won't find drivers.  If you are running CTWin, then you can buy a custom device to do the keying or a USB to port adapter (like those from microham).  I would however, recommend using the parallel for keying.  Do you have one?  My new laptop didn't come with a serial port, an IRDA port, or a PS2 port, but it did have a parallel port.  Go figure, that was the biggest connector.
