[Dx4win] USB to parallel port

[Pete Smith N4ZR]

The confusion continues.  I'll save W4TV the effort of responding - 
USB-to-Parallel is what we're talking about here, not USB-to-Serial. 
David, you cannot key CW or do anything else involving switching 
individual lines on a parallel port through a converter.  The only 
hardware I know of that will do this is the PIEXX SO2RXLAT, which costs 
significantly more than the most elegant solution, K1EL's Winkeyer USB.  
Try it, David - you won't be sorry.

73, Pete N4ZR
