[Elecraft] KUSB to Serial

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

If your machine has a PCMCIA slot, you might consider skipping the adapter
entirely and using a PCMCIA card that provides a standard RS232 serial
interface. 

If course, many desktop machines have expansion slots available where you
can add an internal RS232 port card. 

I guess I "got lucky" with a $30 USB/RS232 adapter from Radio Shack (RS
26-183). It works on all the machines I've tried with no problems, but I'm
running Windows Xp on them.

Bill, I realized all of that, but

my real concern is the note that said Prolific is not going to supply Vista
drivers - contact your cable manufacturer.

It makes me nervour about using KUSB cables.

Sometimes "progress" makes things too complex, and the oldfashioned way is
best.
