Hello All

Maybe a "technical" forum post however I figured that I may get a better response here? Is there any one out there that has seen a USB to serial cable in a shop? I was in a Future shop recently and didn't see one so I don't know if it even exists...If you read my post about having a legacy-free computer, you'll know why I ask...Thanks - John

This is the one I use. It's a RocketPort USB Serial Hub. It's got 4 serial ports. So I have Com5, Com6, Com7 and Com8 on my computer. It's very useful!! :) An the Com5 through 8 are non interupt based so you don't have to worry about interrupts. It's very compatible. I highly recommend it. It costs more though.
