Hello all,
I think I may have the dumb question of the day.
Does anyone (or in the case of the BVARC brain trust) or everyone know
if the RS232 to USB convertors are bidirectional?
We have an issue at work where there is some sort of box/gadget/gizmo
attached to one of our older servers via an RS232 (DB9?) cable.
Needless to say, the server with this RS232 port is beyond end of
life. Can I use a RS232 to USB setup to connect this gizmo to a new
server using a USB port.
On the slight chance that the site coordinator is wrong, and the RS232
is on the box/gadget/gizmo, that’s why I asked if these RS232 to USB
convertors are bidirectional.
Last, does anyone know a source in town for the RS232 to USB with the
FTDI chipset here in town?
Thanks in advance.
