[Dx4win] Re: Correction to "Solved with v6.04! Multiple PCI parallel ports..."

[Larry Gauthier (K8UT)]

My apologies to all, but my over-zealous spell-check program "renamed" the 
manufacturers of two parallel cards that I have successfully tested with the 
new software <arghhh>. Here are the correct titles and a little more detail 
about each:

>  1. Dell motherboard LPT port as LPT1 at 0378 - Actually, any computer's 
> LPT1 port should work in native mode - so you already have one LPT port

>  3. A NetMos parallel card - This brand is sold by several retailers on

Sorry for the error,
