[Elecraft] USB one more time

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I have used a USB/Serial dongle on a new Toshiba notebook and it is
S-L-O-W...

It is currently used to connect a serial port Palm Pilot cradle to the
computer. A "synch" run to updates files that used to take 1 to 2
minutes now requires 15 or more! 

Pretty useless, I'd say... if you are used to a computer with a CPU that
runs above 8 MHz...

I have two new laptops on order - Apple Powerbook and VAIO 
Picturebook[Windoze] - and NEITHER ONE has a serial port -- just USB.

Feel the message?

Anyways, I soon will find out whether the KIO2 plus a USB <-> serial
dongle 
will work. (Has anybody tried it?)
