Re: USB -> Serial



I have one - a Dolphin brand I think. I bought it for 60 Aussie Dollars
from Dick Smith (Aussie tandy-style store).

If anyone can come up with an experiment using this device to predict how
it might react I would be happy to try it.  It has worked pretty well for
the devices I have had to control with it.

Let me know.

Tim.

Never personally used one yet, but would also like to know any
recommended brands. I was told that there are issues with the Belkin
ones when you're trying to do 2 way comms between a PC and a device..... ?
