Windows knows how to talk to a USB port. DOS and therefore TRLog does not.
TRLog talks to the memory location associated with serial port (the UART
really). USB is a different beast and I know of no drivers (aftermarket or
otherwise) with will allow DOS programs to communicate to a USB device. If
anyone does know of one please let me know!
