[1000mp] New Computer

[J. C. Mc Laughlin]

Dear Tom K5IID:

I use an adapter USB to DB9 RS232 sold by Rosewill.  It allows a tiny 
netbook to communicate with AIM4170C.  I have yet to use with FT1K because 
the old radio computer has a series port.  However that computer is now very 
long-in-the-tooth and is in great need to be replaced.  While I might move 
the RS232 card that is in the present computer (originally used to run 
multiple RS232 devices), the card may no longer be compatible - so I will 
probably use a Rosewill converter.

The price was so low that I bought several and thus I have a package in 
front of me:  part number seems to be "RCW-617"  the product number seems to 
be 8  98745 01557  7.  It only has a short (30 cm) cable, but comes with a 
disk.

The device itself seems not to have identification beyond a FCC sticker.

Let us all know what you end up using.  73,  Mac  N8TT

I just got a new computer with Windows 7 and no DB-9 RS-232 serial port 
connector.
How does this group of guys reccommend that I conect the computer to
my old FT-1000MP...plain MP.
Which RS-232 Serial to UBS connector do you suggest?
Thanks, Tom K5IID

If you don't like my signature, well, I am sorry. But I will use it because 
it is what I believe.
