[WriteLog] Parallel Port CW

[Ric Plummer]

Rip,
First, I use the W5XD, so have no direct experience, BUT
when adding addresses to the .ini file, syntax is very important,
for example, mine says:     LPT2=0x378       for LPT2,
0x378 is the syntax for the hex address 0378
So, give that a try, may be the answer,
if not, it's at least another piece of info
