[WriteLog] CW Keying

[Rick Stoneking]

I have a question regarding the CW keying under XP.  This is not a how do I do it question - I have set it up and run it successfully with both the UserPort program and the directIO program.  My question is why does it have to be like this?

I just replaced my old PII 233 Win98 shack PC with a 3GHz Celeron-D Box running XP Home SP2.  I do not have the CW keying working yet because the Userport method does not work on this machine, and I have not downloaded the DirectIO yet.  

But I did install DX4WIN on the new box and it keys my radio just fine!  It installs a driver vich11.sys (or something like that) and the CW keying is working without a hitch.  Why can't Writelog do the same thing?

Just curious.

Thanks and 73,
Rick
