[Dx4win] Test something 4me?

[Ray Sirois]

Thanks you guys for your input and help.
Got it working...  Old logs coming up FB in v.8!

The IDE to USB device purchased at Staples appears to be
the culprit.  All the log files were arriving corrupted as they
were copied off the old hard drive.   So, this morning when hooking
the old hard drive up to a different machine which had an IDE bus,
I copied my old log files off, then transfered them to the
new laptop...  and the logs all come up no problem.
Looks like I found the latest one...  with 10,805 qsos in
it.
SO, I'm doing much better now...

Last but not least is getting a USB to 9-pin serial cable so
I can have rig control...  Those seem to be hard to come
by for 64 bit Windows 7 machines!
