[WT-support] Parallel Port

[VE5ZX]

Thank you for your response.

It would be helpful if you could make a note in your documentation and 
features list indicating that win-test does not support SO2R via multiple 
LPTs ports.

tnx
Syl

You can't.

We implemented one LPT port capability only, mainly for compatiblity
with existing SO1R setups. Today's serious SO2R devices (namely EZMaster
and MKIIR) are no more relying on several LPT ports and use virtual COM
ports via one USB cable. And the DXD isn't compatible with the extended
SO2R switching capabilities WT offers (see scenarios etc.).

We just modified the code to allow a wider range of addresses.

You can hv a try in the *next* nightly build, available at abt 05:20 UTC
