Michael, all. I had the same dilemma and I had to pick up a used refurb laptop with Win 7 on it. I also purchased a refurb Dell Win 7 for remote control, for my “remote” station, both replacing my older XP solutions. They still are available but will be gone soon. Both have a 9 pin on it as well as multiple USB on them.
I use a 590 and HRD for my remote system. Want to use my K2 but… the 590 has the “on-off” command in it, and know I need to buy some more hardware to do the ON/OFF control.
