[1000mp] FT1000MP -> port USB

[VE3QN]

I bought a device from a local computer store. It's called a Gold X adapter 
but it is no doubt sold in computer stores under a variety of names. It cost 
about $US 40. It plugs into a USB port on my computer and produces a serial 
port (COM 7) which I can connect to my FT1000 MkV Field to effect CAT. The 
device came with a small piece of software and works fine on my 400 MHz Dell 
running Windows 98SE.
The regular serial port on my computer (COM 1) is tied up interfacing with 
my Rigblaster plus.
