Skunkware and Alge S4

Want to leave my old DOS timing software, and try the Fiddleware (by Skunkware) for ski timing, under Windows.

Have a Alge S4, Gaz4 scoreboard, Y cable and a PC.
The actual Y cable is a DB9 COM1: serial port (PC) to:
-2 bananas for Gaz4 scoreboard;
-5 pin DIN to "Printer port" (S4).


Questions:

1- Should I use two separates cables for serials ports (PC), driving S4 and Gaz4?
2- Is it the same pin configuration?
3- Using RS-232 or Printer port of the S4?
4- Which version of Windows must be installed?
5- Which "Program #" must be selected in the S4?
and baud rate set to 2400 or 4800?
6- Is there a user manual or a guide available for this software?
7- What else should I know working this all?
