Wondering if anyone has had occassion to play with the above mentioned Byterunner USB to 232 converter ($125) or its siblings? I have the 4S/2P ISA card from Byterunner but can't seem to get it running since I went to a 40gig HD with a PCI ATA100 adapter. Suspect the ATA card is the culprit but apparently eliminating the ATA card is not just a matter of swapping the cable back to the onboard IDE controller - at least it didn't work the one time I tried it. I'm thinking (hoping) that the onboard serial ports could be used for the packet TNC and FSK/CW connections and the USB>232 ports would be ok for rig control, modem, PK232 TU, and whatever else I can think to hook up (rotor control someday). I know there have been issues mentioned in the past but think a lot of it was around 5 vs 8 level and response times. Hopefully the items I choose to hang off the converter would be able to tolerate any timing issues. Your thoughts/experiences?? The price is pretty reasonable and could possible make things a lot simpler for the laptop users too. Thanks.
