[RTTY] Rigblaster Plus & Windows 10

My Rigblaster Pro is plugged into an add-on com port board from a 
previous computer.  Windows 10 id'ed the board and my com port is 2.

No driver was needed.  No problems.

If there is a problem that's likely to be the source.  I have no idea if they use the Prolific or FTDI chipset. The Prolific is a headache if you don't find the right driver - most of the ones freely available are crap. But in either case I'd bet dollars for donuts that the USB driver supplied doesn't support Windows 10.
