Hello,
I am in the process of setting up a new computer for the shack. My old 
XP machine is beginning to show signs of age and I decided to bite the 
bullet and go all Windows 10.

I have always had many serial ports available as I added an additional 
serial card to my PC, 3 currently.  I plan to add a PCI serial card to 
my new PC.  Now, should I be using a Winkey usb or Microkeyer for my 
interface with N1MM and the PC?  Is there an advantage to doing that?  I 
currently have my own keying circuit between the serial and my K3.  
Works just fine with N1MM or Writelog.  RTTY uses another sound card 
added to my PC and the K3 direct.
I seem to be getting behind in technologies and not keeping up.

Opinions?

I am basically a casual contester, one radio at a time.
