Re: USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter Advice

I stand corrected! What I was trying to do was to try and prevent
someone not as well versed as you to buy a USB serial adapter, plug it
into Windows running as the sole OS, and then wonder why his DOS
program wouldn't talk to his SN10. Naturally, there are many ways to
skin a cat - especially if you are a computer expert.

I could not resist the ONLY in caps. That would be only EXCEPT if you
run Windows (or even real MS-DOS) within a VMware virtual machine with
the USB-serial adapter running on the host OS. Then the software in

involved.
