I have not had a lot of success with USB to anything
adapters and CTWin.  This was on a Dell.  I put an
LPT port card into the Dell, which came up as LPT3.
I was able to change that to LPT1 but, unfortunately,
the I/O address was in the 0xDCF0 range and CTWin
had no idea how to deal with that.  I have been
unable to change the I/O address.

I would love to hear how to fix this, as a LOT of
new computers are coming out with only USB ports.

73,
