Out of curiosity, how is the mac handling RS232 devices? Does it
recognise the various RS232 to USB adaptors? (which IME have
difficulties working correctly on XP in many cases - I had to buy
three to find one that let me use my old Wacom tablet)


I found the cheap £6 one from ebuyer worked very well on XP.
I haven't tried it on this Vista machine yet.


Price does not seem to be a factor. I had one that installed, but the
tablet driver would not recognise the tablet on it. I had another that
worked fine but would blue screen the PC every few hours. Finally I
bought one on ebay for £0.01 from hong kong, and it has worked well since.
