serial to USB with Datamaster
I've searched and found some conflicting information.
I have a pretty new Toshiba running Windows XP proffesional version 2002 as my old laptop has serial.
I have no serial port and run Datamaster to log with.
Does anyone know of an adapter(or combination) that works well.
Thanks
Chris

Ive just heard with some adapters that it will still not connect right and that you must run a certain kind of adapter.
Thanks for the link also. I am watching that one now.

I went with Craig's stuff after trying Radio Shack and Belkin adaptors. Its not worth it trying to find an adaptor that will work. It sucks if you already have a serial cable like I do though.
