[Dx4win] WINKEY USB and DX4WIN

[Wayne M]

Hi Dave,

You may want to search the Archives. I seem to remember seeing someone 
upgrading to the latest firmware with WinKey and then having trouble 
getting WinKey to work with DX4WIN. I think I have 3.0.10 in my WinKey 
and the update installs new features DX4Win may not be able to handle 
until an update comes out. I would check your firmware to see what 
version you have.
