| 1347618 | 2013-07-01 09:36:00 | Looking for a Socket 1155 MB (preferrably ASUS but other reputable brand will do) with RS232 COM port for CAD equipment. Can someone recommend one, please. |

| 1347621 | 2013-07-01 10:13:00 | stormdragon: the MB in your link doesn't state that it's a RS232 com port, I checked with ASUS manual and it says it's a 9-pin com 1. Not too sure it's the same. | bk T (215) | ||

| 1347623 | 2013-07-01 14:04:00 | Yup 9 pin serial is the same as RS232 and a lot of boards still have the header pins on the board but don't include the actual 9-pin socket to plug anything into it. You need to get a serial header cable as well, like this: www.austronic-tech.com.au Haven't seen of those for a long time though. The other option is a USB-Serial adapter cable. |

| 1347624 | 2013-07-01 19:57:00 | www.pbtech.co.nz Should work, a lot of motherboards still have the header, just check the specs. Also there are these; www.pbtech.co.nz www.pbtech.co.nz and www.pbtech.co.nz |

| 1347626 | 2013-07-01 20:52:00 | Another alternative is a PCI Serial card: www.pp.co.nz | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
