[SD-User] Trying to use SD with WIN Me

[frank]

OK Paul

Have followed your protocol and now have WINKEY working OK on virtual 
COM8 into microKEYER using WIN Me.
No rig control.

Whats the next step to get rig control working??

Then start SD or SDI and use the PORTS command to configure COM8 for CW 
for Rig 1. Do not try to add rig control at this time. Then use the 
WINKEY command to let SD/SDI know you're using WinKey on COM8. You don't 
have to worry about the other comm parameters, as SD sets the BPS rate 
to 1200 when using WinKey (it's hard-coded). Even if the SD's STATUS 
command shows the COM8 rate to be 4800, it doesn't matter. At this 
stage, if WinKey is not working, use the WKINIT command. If WinKey is 
still not working, restart your computer and run SD or SDI again. Try 
WKINIT again if necessary If WinKey is not working, please verify that 
Windows confirms that COM8 is present and working. If system settings 
seem to be OK, and WinKey is still not working, please send me your 
SD.INI file. Don't try to enable rig control until we get WinKey working.
