[Trlog] More on using TRlog on a WinXP machine with a thumb USB drive

Hi Lee:

I don't believe USB will work.  The built-in serial ports work fine.
If it's a desktop, ByteRunner (www.byterunner.com) sells
PCI boards with DOS drivers...I've used their dual serial card
(which I like because of the standard 9-pin connectors) on
at least four computers without a problem.

73,
