USB ports for rig control. I've always considered a Serial to USB adapter as a " box of chocolates", you never know what you're going to get. Whether it works or not depends entirely on the chip set used and the quality of the driver. Elecraft should have used USB ports. You can't buy a desktop motherboard by any respected manufacturer that includes a serial port. The LGA 775 board I'm looking at for an upgrade has zero serial ports but 8 on the mobo backplane and you can add four more to the front or back of the case with cables and unused motherboard USB headers. It might be a trivial redesign of the KIO3 but I'm sure it's down the list if at all. R.
