[RTTY] Commercial Interfaces

[Don Bergmark]

The wife is getting a win 8 tablet for Christmas and I want to be on the
same windows platform.  I sure hope Microham can get their software up and
running on WIN 8, ASAP.

All interfaces require a driver of some kind and Windows 8 (or some of the
OEM versions of Windows 8) has broken several of the hardware drivers.
Windows 8 is the new "Vista" and will have corporations scrambling to retain
Windows 7.
