[WriteLog] LPT on 64 bit OS?

[john at kk9a.com]

I struggled for weeks trying to get a parallel port to work with my newer
Dell desktop computer.

I tried two different cards and I was never successful getting them to
work with Writelog. I could not even find a parallel port setting in the
BIOS.  I gave up trying to get this configuration to work and I returned
one of the parallel cards. I sold my DXDoubler and purchased a MicroHAM
Micro 2R which uses a USB port. The setup was very easy and the Micro 2R
will work with any computer that I own including my laptop.

I have a desktop computer running Windows 7 x 64 that I want to start
using as my contest computer. I have one of these LPT thingies on order:
