You can probably still find, but this is a drill of chasing obsolescence. USB replaced serial ports for many reasons. If you have something that requires serial ports, it too is obsolete. You will need to move on, and find its USB replacement and start testing that. It does not often pay to require obsolete technologies when acquiring new equipment. Especially something like laptops; general use equipment.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- I've been asked to look for notebooks for my office that have built-in serial ports. We've already used USB-to-serial adapters and port multipliers with mixed success; we are kind of leery of using PCMCIA serial ports. And we'd like to use these notebooks on the go so docks are out of the question. Can I get the big OEMs to sell me a few of these or am I out of luck with them? ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
