[WriteLog] Best PCMCIA serial card for Writelog and Win98

[Gary Senesac AL9A]

I've used a Socket Dual Serial I/O PCMCIA card in my Compac Presario laptop 
for several years now with Writelog, DXbase, MMTTY, and Net Logger with 
success.  My laptop also has only a single built in serial connector.  I use 
the built in port to connect to my Rigblaster Plus to key CW, PSK and AFSK 
(still working on FSK) and use one of the Socket Serial ports to connect to 
the rig (Icom 756Pro) to read freq, qsy, split, mouse wheel scroll, etc. 
That leaves one serial port open at the moment - a new rotor someday?  Good 
luck.
