Hi, Well, my $3.00 computer passed it's first test. I took it to the local Amateur Radio Field Day this weekend, and it performed great. Now for the work related question. This is a Gateway Solo 2500 laptop without a parallel port. I'm thinking of using a USB to Parallel port adaptor to hook up chipper chipper check. I was wondering if anyone has tried this, and if it worked for them. A friend told me that Chipper Check may still need to see the LTP port in order to work. Any suggestions?
