[Elecraft] Laptop Serial Port Card for K3

[edward mccann]

>From Edward McCann AG6CX:

I am about to set up K3 station and would prefer to provide serial port from newer portable PC (Sony Vaio VGN-FW550F with Windows 7 64 bit)to K3 rather than use USB to Serial adapter. Not being cheap here, but rather trying to provide native serial port interface to keep it simple.

Prices of new PCMCIA cards seem to run from $20 to $100 on Amazon and elsewhere. Has anyone had experience with this matter and can recommend a specific card that has worked for you without glitches?

Thanks.
