Many top SO2R ops prefer to operate this way, using Win-Test with two
keyboards, and two networked computers (e.g. N6MJ, N5KO).  Hardware
interlocks are mandatory, otherwise the risk of transmitting two signals at
the same time is far too high, and you can easily be disqualified.

Does Win-Test support some software interlocking?

None whatsoever, if you use two computers.  It probably wouldn't be fast
enough anyway, and there would inevitably be some tens of milliseconds of
TX overlap at some point in the contest when you tried to transmit on both
radios at once.
