Guys,

Looking to borrow one of these beasties to use with XYL's laptop to do 
firmware updates for a K3 (expected to arrive in a few weeks.)

It turns out that, due to a unplanned partial hip replacement a few 
weeks ago,  I can't yet climb under the operating table to hook up the 
RS232 cable to the floor mounted desk top port!  (Physical therapy 
person didn't understand why I needed to be able to climb on hands and 
knees and climb towers to be considered "made whole"...........)

The USB/serial route seems to have a high failure rate according to the 
K3 reflectior  -- driver problems galore.
Maybe the PCMCIA-RS232 route will be less problematic.
