Thanks Kerry,
I did test the website provided but it is largely vacant. I will email Dave
at the Contact address.
I would likel consider an Elrasoft board if I can determine which board is
relevant noting the DB-25 adaption would still likely be required.
Thanks for the build notes and test method.

I'm delighted to see some traffic here. :)
I used an adaptor designed by Dave Brainerd WB6DHW that he sold as a parts
kit; that was many years ago but he may still have the PCB and parts.
Try;
It, and the N2PK VNA, still work flawlessly.
Apropos XP & Win 11, I found when I began with the N2PK VNA that a laptop
occupied too much bench space so I bought a little 10" netbook with the XP
that was then current.
It is still working perfectly with Dave's myVNA for the N2PK and Tom's
VNWA for that instrument; "number-crunching" doesn't require the power of
today's computers.
I have recently been forced by computer failures to buy a laptop and a
desktop with, of course, Win 11; I hate it, XP is much simpler and
more-intuitive for such tasks as saving files.
I like my little XP netbook so much that I recently bought an
almost-identical second-hand one; it appears to have been little-used and
looked-after in its ca.15-year life, it even has the original box and
documentation!
I have loaded myVNA and VNWA into it and am keeping it as a spare in case
the first netbook expires.
