Regarding TR and laptops:
On my laptop (Gateway Solo 5100) in order to get the LPT interface to work
with TR I had to set the BIOS mode for the printer port to "standard
bi-directional". It's usually set on EPP or ECP, which didn't seem to work
with TR. So check to see if your laptop has any bios options for the
printer port.
(I'm running Win 95, booting into DOS mode via F8 to run TR).
Also: if you haven't built an optocoupled keying interface yet, try one! I
used one optocoupled and one regular transistor interface during SS. No
rfi problems at all with the optocoupled interface, while the transistor
interface needed the normal application of toroids halfway through SS to
keep rf out on certain bands.
