Bill,
NT flavors of Windows don't support the LPT port the same way the
older/consumer versions of Windows do. So none of the programs support the
traditional LPT mechanism on NT versions. I've got a partial solution that
may work well with the Array Solutions box. I've written some software that
monitors Writelog and picks up the A/B state and bandswitch info. It then
dumps that info to serial ports (CW can already go to a serial port). The
serial ports are at RS232 levels, so they must be converted to TTL levels to
look like the LPT port. And then there is some cabling... I'm working on a
better solution, but it will take until the spring at least.
Check out the sections on my SO2R interface and FKeys at my website (below).
You may not need all of the stuff, but at least it should give you some
ideas.

Subject: [WriteLog] help with NT
I am getting back on the air after 5 years QRT. Very impressed with the
improvement in amateur radio software since I last tuned in! PSK-31 is
simply amazing.
I purchased a copy of WriteLog (10.27G) and am getting it hooked up in a
SO2R configuration. Here is my gear:
** WriteLog 10.27G
** Dell 500-MHz P-III
** Windows 2000 Professional (NT)
** stereo soundcard
** Yaesu FT-1000D
** Icom IC-781
** Array Solutions SO2R Master
I would like to hear from people who have used WriteLog with Windows NT. I
think the A.S. SO2R Master wants to see the A/B switching, CW keying and PTT
on the LPT port--does Windows NT support this? If not, what's the
work-around?
Also, what's the best way to interconnect a Soundcard with the A.S. SO2R
Master and the rest of my gear?
73,
Bill AA6TT
