I purchased a new IBM T41 laptop. This machine does not come with DB9-RS232
ports.

In order to run TunerCat-RT with the Romulator, I need a RS-232 conector.

Also I use DataMaster to connect to the ALDL connector, again with an RS-232
DB9 connector.





I have tried the Belkin F5U103 USB to Serial DB9 converter. I works
sometimes, but causes continual BLUE-SCREENS-OF-DEATH under Windows XP.

I also have tried the new StarTech PCMCIA 2-port serial card. This card
would work with some old legacy serial devices, but not the Romulator.

Has anyone got a suggestion for this problem? How about the QUATECH DSP-100?
