Serial ports don't seem to want to die. My 6month old Dell docking

(Thunderbolt, USB C connectors, HDMI and DP video connectors) and a
serial port. My gast was flabbered when I saw it on there. So a
surprising number of shiny new things still have serial ports.


Think they are still used for comms on CAD machines.
I use it with MegaSquirt. You can get USB to serial adaptors, but they
don't seem as robust as full serial.
