[Elecraft] suggested PC???

[Tim Tucker]

I haven't had used a "real" (old fashioned) serial port on any PC that
controls radio equipment in probably 10 years.  It's really not necessary
if you purchase quality USB/Serial adapters (no fake chipsets) where
needed.  The only PC I have with a old-fashioned serial port is an ancient
Toshiba laptop I keep around that runs DOS so I can program old Motorola
radios.
