[Elecraft] Keying interface for K1/K2

I can only speak about TR Log.
I have a small adapter plugged into my parallel port that puts
out a transistor-switched ground to a keying lead to my K2.  My paddles
also plug into this adapter, keying the laptop which in turn keys the
K2.  No apparent lag, using this ancient 33MHz 486SX laptop :-)
I set the K2 menu to Hand Keying, instead of paddle keying.
I also have the laptop connected to the K2 via the KIO2
data option.  The keying speed is controlled by TR Log, not by
the speed control on the K2 front panel.
Makes a very nice contest station this way.

Subject: [Elecraft] Keying interface for K1/K2

Greetings,

Interested in reading how to successfully interface a PC running a logging
program with CW keying functionality with an Elecraft, without having to
disable the K1/K2's electronic keyer.

A recommendation on an off-the-shelf package or instructions on a homebrewed
cable solution both appreciated.

Tnx in advance, Jeff K0UU
