[WT-support] Configuring LPT and DX Doubler

[Bruce Elbert]

EXCUSE ME, LARRY - I gave you the wrong laptop. The correct laptop is:
VGN-S480B/480P. I have two of them but the S480B is the one for the rig and
contest software.

Larry, yes, it occurred to me, too, that Sony has a "printer-only" parallel
port.

The Sony is a Vaio PCG-V505E Series 2/2, version G245.0 (on the recovery
DVD).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe Sony developed a printer-only (so-called) parallel port ?! And it 
can't be used in another way (like the USB to // adapter I mentioned in 
my previous post).

As Bob N6TV suggested, could you please indicate the complete model 
reference of your Sony laptop please ?

So, I'm afraid it's *not* a "legacy" // port.
