If I may return to the original topic: Ken asked about experience of
connecting a K3 via a USB port to Vista. My experience is wholly
positive. I picked up a standard USB-to-serial "adaptor" at my local
supermarket while doing my grocery shopping. It cost under 25
euros. Plugged it into my laptop running Vista, it automatically
downloaded the driver from the MS Windows Update site and works
perfectly with the K3.
It does seem to use the Prolific chip, judging by messages I saw as
the driver was installing.
