Thanks for the numerous suggestions I received on getting a PCI parallel
card working in Writelog. The missing step in my case was the omission of
a line in the writelog.in file. Bruce, W1CSM correctly suggested the
following:
I suggest that you add the line AntRelayOnLptX=YES to the Ports section
of the .ini file. I found that setting up the parallel ports in the
Ports config section didn’t seem to force the creation of the
AntRelayOnLptX in the .ini file, so do this first, then start Writelog.
snip from my Writelog.ini file
[Ports]
LPT1=0x0378
LPT2=0xD8D8
AntRelayOnLpt2=YES
LPT3=0X0
Thank you very much, Bruce! I was about to throw away this PCI card.
Interestingly, as soon as the AntRelayOnLpt1=YES was added to the
writelog.ini file, it started to work in both WriteLog and also DX4WIN.
Prior to adding that line it would not work from either program. It is as
though the PCI parallel card was installed, and drivers were good, but
something was required to "open the port". As soon as the port was open,
all programs were able to command it.
