I Have a Dell XPS-8300 (i7-2600 3.4 GHz, 64-bit OS) with Windows 7. The expansion ports are the PCI-Express variety. I use the below Best Connectivity six port product. It has worked flawlessly for me. I have one port connected to the W2 wattmeter and a second port connected to the KPA500 for system monitoring. If you do a quick search for serial port adapters there are many choices.
Fred, I love your K3 manual. Nice job. It is my K3 reference manual. I use a Mac for logging and K3 control (McLoggerDX). Although using two platforms, it works very well for me.
