No problems using the simple interface provided in the help with QRS.EXE. Some software will use the LPT1 parallel printer port, QRS.EXE is one. 73 Gary - G4WGT - IO83qp ----- Original Message ----- From: "lawrence mayhead" To: "rsgb" Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 7:50 PM Subject: LF: QRS/Ports > Does anyone have experience of using a computer without RS232 for QRS. > I have tried to get an output from the 9 pin serial ports on my computer, > it > appears that the -12 volts on the appropriate pin (pin 4 for Key ) drops > only > momentarily.
