I use a Keyspan product on my Thinkpad G40 to get a DB9 port. Works great
with XP Pro. Hasn't caused any faults with Windows and has worked with
several peripherals.

  Subject: [Diy_efi] Need DB9 RS232 ports for laptop

  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?
