The Mironics interface uses the parallel port, not the serial port, but
WinME/2K don't have direct access to that, either. The Mironics software
came with a port driver to work around it, of course; surely you didn't
think they would sell me this program, knowing I have Windows 2000, if
it couldn't work in Windows 2000. (Well, if it works in Windows 2000 is
debatable anyway. And don't call me Shirley.) I installed the software
and its port driver, rebooted once to let the port driver get its hooks
into the system, and then tried out the titling. It ran fine, and pushed
the buttons on my MZ-R700 in its virtual way, but they were all the
wrong buttons. It titled my discs with random-seeming garbage, and then
only if I manually entered titling mode first. Then when I eventually
rebooted again, the now-fully-installed port driver trashed my startup
and with it my installation, or so it seems.
