| 356443 | 2005-05-18 10:59:00 | I have a device that connects to the PC with a 9 pin serial cable, but I'd like to plug it into the USB port. Is that possible? I've looked on DSE and Google for a USB to 9 pin serial adapter , but I can't find one. Maybe you can't do that? | TideMan (4279) | ||

| 356447 | 2005-05-18 11:32:00 | One word of caution. These devices create a "virtual serial port" that not all software or drivers can recognise. They are different to a real hardware serial port, and some devices may fail to work or be recognised. A case of try it and see. Some mobile phone software would not work, nor would DOS based programs in my experience. |
