The most recent shipment of Dell Optiplex (business desktops) I bought have serial ports. Dell Latitude notebooks have an available snap-on legacy port adaptor that includes a real (non-USB) serial port, same as do the docking stations. My ruggedized Latitude E6420 XFR has a standard serial port, but it seems to be an internal USB-serial port adapter. A lot of network equipment still has serial console ports, so laptops marketed toward network techs tend to have available serial ports. In my experience USB to serial adapters are generally inferior to traditional serial ports. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
