Man I'm really sorry for the late reply. I spent a week without looking at CLUG email.

I buy the BAFO BF-810 through Computer Dynamics but you have to have an account with them to deal with them. They cost $18.50 + GST.

There wasn't a follow-up to this thread that gave a yes or no.  I'm
interested to know whether anybody has ever got this working.  I think it
is possible since the kernel supports console over serial and usb-to-serial
adapters are cheap and easy to use.

Out of interest, does this "usb-to-serial" adapter you speak of: a) help your serial device (eg. mouse) fake being a usb device, OR b) help your usb port fake being a serial port ?

There have been several fine explanations so far which have left me with the
distinct impression there are some fundamental reasons why it wouldn't work.

Although I admit, it would be cool ;-)

Hey all,

Anyone know if you can get a 'Serial' Console using usb instead of a
serial port? I don't really care about having a console at boot up but it
would be a bonus.

The only documentation I can find is about using the serial port.

Cheers

Paul
