Notes on PC 24

September 2008

Brought to Curacao by W0CG in September 2008. This was Cindy's home office machine, superceded by a newer one. Fixed in Ohio for service in Curacao. Plan is for this to be our first XP machine in contest service at PJ2T.

Placed in service at Station # 1. Cleaned all unneeded programs and files, installed Writelog V10.69, installed Userport (see documentation on the web site, PJ2T Station Home Page), to get LPT1 to operate. (Successful.) installed K9. Followed procedure outlined in http://asgard.kent.edu/ccc/pj2t.computer.setup.manual.htm . Had to manually configure DNS server address. Assigned TCP/IP address of 10.1.1.90. Printed and glued on the case labels. Writelog networks successfully with the other machines.

Installed SIIG JJ-P02012 two port com card. Driver is on PC9 and on PJ2T Software CD in SIIGDriver/SIIG20X. Disabled COM1, then installed card, which came up successfully as COM2 and COM4. FT-1000 works on COM4 as does the Top Ten box. COM3 still works as WinKey and COM1 is not available. COM2 will be used in future for RigBlaster Pro.
