I am unsure how this matters for my case. I have an actual 9 pin port, no
USB involved. That 9 pin is connected via cable to the back of my reading
edge...I make sure all of my computers have actual serial hardware.

In my experience those that are made with the FTTDI chipset are the best,
while the PL2303 devices are worse than useless.
The synth needs to be able to tell the computer when to stop sending until
the synth is ready to accept more. If this does not happen it can result in
garbled speech.

Hi folks,
for those who use serial synthesizers, what can cause garbled characters
to be sent to the synthesizer?
they are not on the screen, and I am trying to troubleshoot how, with
two different computers the problem starts after a while.
Thanks,
Karen
