[WriteLog] comport problems solved

[kr6e]

I recently upgraded the computer I use with Writelog to one of the latest ASUS motherboards (P5K Premium).  After doing this upgrade I experienced nothing but disfunction in using RittyRite through USB/Serial devices; PCI serial cards and also the single native com1 port on the motherboard.  Most of the faults showed up as  blue screen errors that indicated a crashed system as well as framing errors, parity errors, and bit (level) errors.   Very frustrating.   I tried a number of different solutions to no avail.   

The solution was found when I used one of the PCI-E "short slot" busses with a card purchased from New Egg over the internet.  The cost was approximately $35 and the company who made the card is BYTECC (part # BT-PE2S).   The card has worked with all versions of RittyRite and there are no driver problems associated with the card.   My understanding is that the PCI-E handles interrupts in a different manner than a standard PCI buss.  

Hope this helps people who might experience similar problems.
