[1000mp] New Computer

[Glenn Rattmann]

The various brand-names may come and go, so...

The key to success when choosing a USB-to-serial adapter is to AVOID 
the ones using Prolific driver.  Purchase one with the FTDI 
chipset.  You should be able to find out 'what's inside' by going to 
the website of the manufacturer of the device, if not described on the package.

I don't use one myself (yet) but have learned this from overwhelming 
user-evidence described on the N1MM Logger mail reflector.
