I believe it is looking for the LPT driver for CW keying... There is a couple of choices....

Do not try and disguise this software problem with a cheap hardware "fix'" - that is just asking for trouble. You're swimming upstream against the strategic product directions of Intel, Microsoft, and the BIOS vendors. The correct solution to the parallel port problem is that software developers (we're talking about DX4WIN, ARSWin, TopTen Devices, WaveNode technologies here...) must revamp their programs to become compliant with the new hardware and operating system architectures. This means that they must use new compilers, new I/O utilities, and deliver new releases of their programs. Unless/until that happens, the customers of these vendors are the ones who will suffer, because they are purchasing products that cannot possibly work on the latest hardware and software platforms. Unless, of course, you intend to make the ridiculous suggestion that hams should purchase the "latest and greatest ham radio technology" with the understanding that it will only work properly on 10-year-old hardware and 5-year-old operating systems. ;-) ... I didn't think so! [DISCLAIMER - keep in mind that I am talking specifically about those characteristics of DX4WIN, and other programs, that would require multiple parallel ports to control things like CW keying, antenna rotors, band decoders, remote antenna switches, remote sensors and wattmeters, etc. If you don't have those requirements, these issues do not apply] -larry K8UT ----- Original Message ----- From: "ON4AOI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2004 2:11 PM Subject: [Dx4win] The solution for several working LPT ports > Hi All, > for those who are still looking for several working > LPT's the solution is here ........ > > Probably there are lot of people complaining about the > missing ISA slots on the latest motherboards..... > > SOLTEK motherboards has the solution > > TYPE = SL-XP865G-3IG > Chipset Intel 865G + ICH5 > Processor CPU Socket 478B on board. > Front Side Bus 800/533/400MHz Front Side Bus. > Memory 2 x 184-pin DDR DIMM Sockets. > Supporting unregistered non-ECC DDR 400/333/266 DRAM up to 2GB. > Supporting Dual-Channel. > Expansion Slots 1 x AGP 8X/4X Slot. > 4 x PCI Slots. > 3 x ISA Slots. > On-Board EIDE 2 x ATA100/66/33 IDE connectors supporting up to 4 IDE > devices. > On-Board SATA 2 x Serial ATA connectors supporting 2 Serial ATA HDDs.
