serial port.

  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?
