[RTTY] Re:AA5AU Score & USB/serial ports

[Jim McDonald]

I have the same Belkin working OK with XP though I haven't tried it for FSK
yet.

I got the Byte Runner 4-port PCI serial card working OK with no IRQ problem.

So if the Belkin unit won't work with Windows XP and the other units won't
pass Baudot code, how do we go forward?

I spent at least five hours yesterday struggling to get only a couple of
the ports of a four port serial board working because of the shortage of
IRQ's.  I could easily use two or three additional ports.

With new computers with USB mice, keyboards and printers are the IRQ's that
would otherwise be used for these in a range that is available to serial
port boards?  Do people really have success with shared IRQ's for serial
ports?
