[Ham-Mac] serial port advice needed please

[Gary Tuck]

Just joined the list and have been on Macs since an LCII.  Probably 
owned more Macs than ham radios!  Using a MDD dual 1.25 gHz now and 
just ordered a Ten Tec radio with upgradeable firmware.  The rig has a 
serial port and I'm planning ahead.  Looking for  some advice on 
installing the firmware upgrades.  In reviewing the archives I see that 
Keyspan serial to USB adapters are recommended but I don't think that 
will help since I would have to install in a Windows environment I 
believe.  I used Virtual PC several years ago with Windows 95 and 
wonder if that is the only way to go short of buying/building a Winbloz 
machine--sheesss.  Just the thought of it.

Sure appreciate advice and experience.

tnx, Gary WB7FCQ
