[Elecraft] KUSB - non radio question

[Ted Bryant]

Fred,

For the port to show up in Device Manager you have to have the device
(WinKey? K3?) plugged into the usb port.  Be sure to check the power options
for that usb port when you do identify it.  Disable any Windoze power down
options.

I need to use my wife's computer in the NAQP CW, mine is in the hospital for
a fan transplant.

How do I get XP to recognize the KUSB [mine is somewhat old, I think it's
Prolific].  I've downloaded both FTDI and Prolific drivers from Elecraft,
they seem to install, but I don't see any "Ports" in the device manager.

I can live with just one port to the radio, I'll key on the DTR/RTS lines
and skip the Winkey.  Just need to find a way to get Windoze to recognize
the port ... any port ... I can make N1MM go there.
