Interesting thought with respect to SDR1K startup. I've generally 
started the PowerSDR s/w before powering on the hardware. This is to 
guard against the possibility of some other software configuring the 
parallel port as if it were a printer, thereby possibly putting the 
SDR1K hardware in an unfortunate state. Launching the s/w before 
powering on the hardware allows PowerSDR to place the parallel port 
in an appropriate state which is later executed by the hardware when 
it powers up.

Are there any other thoughts on this issue?
