Hi Ronald,
I have the same problem with 2 computers and CW through LPT1: also.
Both computers are faster than 1 GHz, have 192/256 MB RAM and Win2000
pro. The first produces a very fine CW code through LPT1:. The code
which is generated by the second computer is stuttering. And that
behaviour does not depend on additional running task.
My work around for the second computer was: CW via COM-port. That works
very fine since it isn't a solution!
But I do not know why? Is there someone with an explanation?
