[WriteLog] OCT QST RCS-10 Ant Switch

In this month QST there is an article called "Automating the Ameriton RCS-10 
Remote Antenna Switch".

The circuit looks simple enough even for me to build.  I already have the 
RCS-10.

Here is my questions:

1.  I am using a desktop with VISTA Home Premium 32 bit.
2.  I have a VScom 4 comport - one printer port card installed and working fine.
3.  I am using Writelog 10.87E.
4.  In WL, the setup for the Antenna Relays LPT ports are grayed out.  So I 
can't use them.
5.  Has anyone been able to use the printer port for this?  I have tried 
Direct-IO but it does not support VISTA.
6.  I don't think a USB-LPT adapter would do any better then the port on the 
add-in card.

Any help would be appreciated.
