[DSP-10] Its a really bad feeling when..

[Peter Freeman]

Hi David,

I have the same problem with the new laptop. 2 ways to solve it:
1. USB to serial adapter. Others have used this route....may require an 
up to date driver for it to work.
2. I acquired a second-hand PCMCIA card which gives 2 serial ports. This 
seems to work OK on the applications I have tried so far.

Unfortunately, the DSP10 project is still in the partly finished pile - 
need to make time to give it a higher priority.

Good luck,

Peter
