[PCR-1000] usb port

Fri, 19 Apr 2002 09:10:22 -0400

What I've always needed is just the opposite --  the ability to run a USB
device on a serial port.  No such device about other than another USB
capable system that can be networked to my 1996 'relic' PC.

    Not being a PC giant I'm open to suggestions.  Anyone have any ideas ??

I've hung onto my old circa 1997 200mHz/Win'95 system as it runs all of the
older QBASIC shareware.  Of course it does not support USB.....

----------
The radio manufacturers seem (if you look at their specs) to not realize
that world did go usb and they no longer ship any DOS, Win 3.1, or Win'95
based systems.  Read ICOM's ad and you realize that have not even become
aware of Win'98.  I really think that ICOM believes 'XP' is the name of the
next Star Wars movie.
