Title: CM11a and USB
Post by: john on July 08, 2005, 04:11:06 PM

OK, got a new laptop. And guess what? No
serial port!! Is there a simple way to
connect my CM11a to this computer? USB ro
serial cable? Any software issues? HELP! Not
ready to jump into a CM15a just yet,
especially if a cable bails me out.

you can get a USB to serial convertor, which
is a cable and software, which will
typically run about $30, though you may be
able to find one for less...

Thanks! Got a Belkin USB to serial
converter, works like a charm!!
Thank God I don't have to deal with CM15a
problems for a while.. <G>
