[Logic] WinKey CW generating device

Wed, 4 Dec 2002 14:13:42 -0600

Perhaps, but what if you also use a contest program, which does not support
LPT keying and wish to have compatibility between both?

Have you tested your code quality using a USB to com port converter?  And
how about on a multiport PCI card.

There are many issues to consider.
