Okay, so your peripheral (due to your budget) is driving your decision to keep longer than you otherwise would. Hope you're saving to eventually replace that old plotter/cutter... It will go some day.
Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- I have to keep an older computer around because it has a serial port that is needed to drive my plotter/cutter. Could I get another newer plotter/cutter that uses USB instead of a serial interface. Yes, but only if I am anxious to go deeply into debt. Keeping the older computer is costing me nothing. The maker of my plotter/cutter is not going to produce a a USB driver for this older device, so a serial to USB conversion cable will not do the trick. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
