[ICOM] USB > serial HELP NEEDED for 2720 T81 others

[John Luthy]

My True Blue IBM laptop also has no db9 or any other ports just USB.
however... the docking station that I have for it does have all kinds
of ports.... some I don't even know what they do!

So I would look into a docking station for the laptop.
