[WriteLog] Userport Question

[W8AV at aol.com]

I inadvertently sent this just to N9OH instead of the whole group so I will 
 post this here.
 
Has anyone tried using the Userport Utility with Win 7 and higher and does  
it work?  The reason for my question is that I had an XP machine that the  
power supply died in and I can not get a replacement for it.  I am going to  
be forced to upgrade to either Win 7, 8 or 10 when I get a new computer to  
replace the dead one.  The machine I am ordering from Dell will have a  
serial port, parallel port and USB ports on it and Windows 7 as the operating  
system.  If Userport works with Win 7, then I will not have to spend $32+  
apiece for USB to RS232 adaptors.
 
I am, currently running 930's and am in the process of upgrading those to  
K3's.  For all but 1 radio, I am CW keying through a parallel port since I  
have the LPT interfaces for the keying lines.  I have been using Userport  
to fool XP into thinking it is Win 98 to allow it to address a parallel  port.
 
Thanks in advance.
