[Dx4win] Using 2 LPT ports on Windows XP

[ON4AOI]

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 .... ..

> 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?
