USB-to-Serial ??
Further cleaning up in the office found an odd cable... USB on one
end, what looks to be serial on the other?? Was there such a thing. My cable collection was sort of hilarious, I don't know why I kept some things for so long... I must have tossed 20# of parallel port printer cables ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.

If you take the serial connector apart, you will find a USB-Serial chip. If you plug the USB end into a PC, it should turn into another serial port. That's /dev/ttyUSBx on Linux systesm, and COMx on Windows boxes. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. |

Same with old SCSI and IEEE gear. One day you may need it to connect your prehistoric test & measurement kit to a new PC. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

No one carries those anymore, except the little computer shops. Hang on to those as they are obsolete. Cheers |

I still have plenty of 9 & 25 pin serial cables. |

I have ONE very-occasional-use event recorder that needs a serial port input (my infamous aircraft noise reporter that automatically sends E-mail to the blond bitch at city hall :-) ...Jim Thompson The wire is pretty good quality and the cables are very handy to use in custom projects if you have corresponding connectors.
