[Elecraft] new computer advice suggestions for using with a K3

[Brian Alsop]

One has to be careful with these headers.  There apparently are two 
pinouts for them.  One is used more often in EU and the other in the US.
So make sure you read the documentation supplied with the motherboard to 
assure you connect the right type of cable.

I got caught with this problem while trying to use COM2 (on the 
motherboard).
