[WriteLog] USB to LPT Converters and the Top Ten DXD

[Clay Melhorn]

I too run the DXDoubler and Writelog.

A great parallel port control software for Win7 is Port95nt

it can be downloaded at  http://www.driverlinx.com/DownLoad/DlPortIO.htm

 

SIIG makes some very nice quality PCI type converter cards with parallel port(s) of which I have a couple,

they work fine on the DXD.

 

Also, for rs-232 rig control, fsk etc the SIIG PCI Quartet (4 port) com port cards, they also make single and dual rs-232 cards.

I have found some good deals on eBay over the last few years for SIIG products.

Have purchased enough of them now that I feel it's safe to let the secret out, ha...
