[WriteLog] Rig Interface to Kenwood TS-570d(G)

[dl6jz at t-online.de]

Hi Bob,

I had a TS-570 some months ago. There were absolute no problems with
rig-control and WriteLog. It worked a lot better than the rig-control
of my FT-1000MP.

But my experiences say that it is impossible to share one IRQ for
several COM-port without a special device with its own driver software
( like PCI multiport I/O-cards).

If you use the onboard ports together with 2 ports on an ISA-card you
must assign every COM-port its own IRQ.

How to do that depends on several properties of your additional
COM-port-hardware, the BIOS of your computer and the actual hardware
configuration of the PC.
