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

[Lyle Johnson]

Note that DOS doesn't speak USB so a USB to serial adapter may be
problematical.

On the other hand, the DOSBOX application I mentioned the other day for
using the ADI toolchain under WinXP  *may* work on the USB serial port and
allow the DSP10 application to run inside it. I've not tried this...
