off-topic: usb to serial

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Might it not be easier (not to mension cheaper), to get a second serial
port?  Many mother boards already have the support for them, and all you
need is a header for the back of the PC.
For those that do not, I believe you can still get serial expansion boards
(they usually also have parallel ports, etc., attached as well).

Regards,

Luke
