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
