Hi Larry, Mel and others DX4WIN has NO problems with LPT's and Serials under WINDOWS XP PRO My Setup here is working great with the following components installed
Mainboard LPT1 + COM1 + COM2 Add-on LPT2 + LPT3 (IRQ 14) Add-on COM3 + COM4(IRQ 15) PLUGIN USB to COM5 COM1 = FT1000mp COM2 = FT920 COM3 = APC ups COM4 = ptt + fsk ( MMTTY(radio1) - WSJT - etc) COM5 = ptt + fsk ( MMTTY(radio2) - WSJT - etc) LPT1 = ARSWIN or SUPER COMBO KEYER ZS4TX LPT2 = Banddecoder 1 (ptt + cw radio1) LPT3 = Banddecoder 2 (ptt + cw radio2) for Writelog I need to run userport.sys because starting W2K the LPT isn't supported anymore (just wonder how long he will continue to not implement this.) I use VScom cards and they work great , I forced them manualy in the MAINBOARD-BIOS to use IRQ's I don't need (in my case Irq 14 + 15 because I only have Ultra160 scsi devices and don't need IDE) BUT they can be forced to IRQ's of your choise also. Also started with a fresh XP - PRO installation without other CARDS installed, only Video is installed .... .. 73 Guy ON4AOI BAND DECODER and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/banddecoder.htm DX4WIN soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dx4win.htm DX4WIN, WRITELOG, WF1B & RITTY CW & RTTY interfaces at http://www.on4aoi.be/keyer.htm ARSWIN link and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/web7.htm DXTELNET soft and related stuff at http://www.on4aoi.be/dxt.htm MY SALESPAGE with radioamateur & computer parts http://www.on4aoi.be/sale.htm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Gauthier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2003 8:00 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Using 2 LPT ports on Windows XP > I am using DX4WIN 6.02 on Windows XP, and am having trouble getting the parallel port drivers to work against any LPT port other than LPT1 (the port built into my Dell computer). I have a TopTenDevices antenna selector, and an ARS rotor control card - both of which use an LPT port for communication to DX4WIN. When I configure either of them to use LPT1, they work properly; when I configure either of them to use LPT3, DX4WIN reports a comm error trying to access the port. > > My second LPT port, defined as LPT3 on a ByteRunner card, seems to install and configure properly under XP, but DX4WIN cannot "find" it. Is anyone else using a dual-LPT port configuration on XP? Is it working properly for you? Do I have to do anything weird to get this working? > > Any suggestions would be appreciated. > > -larry > K8UT > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > The reason this message is shown is because the post was in HTML > or had an attachment.
