Greetings I've use USB to DB9 serial adaptors. Personally I don't like them as much as the USB to parallel adaptors. Why you ask? I find the former often requires 3rd party drivers while the latter seem to be recognized more easily by Windows 7.

Does anyone know of a serial to USB adapter that will allow an older external synthesizer, I don't know which one, just that it was new somewhere in the early to mid 1990s, to work with a brand new computer? My uncle has severe tinnitus as well as RP and he used this synthesizer during all of these years as his hearing problems got worse and now he finds that he is accustomed to comprehending it even on his worst hearing days, translating the garble of sound easily after many years of using the device. He has been trying to find a synthesizer among all of those that come with Window Eyes that he can get used to, but it just doesn't seem to be working. I just finished recording a bunch of clips of the Vocalizer voices on the off chance that they might succed where the others have failed, but I don't hold out a lot of hope that any of them will work any better since it really isn't an issue of the quality of the voice, but rather a matter of being able to comprehend meaning through the loud roaring of tinnitus. So, I am hoping we can find a way to allow him to continue to use what he is used to. I wish I could provide more info on which brand and model he is using, but I am doing all of this over the phone since he lives a good ways up in the mountains from where I live and there are two family crises that have hit, one down here and one up there complicating things. I don't know why things always work out so that the bad stuff always hit in clusters, but it always seems to work out that way. I Thanks for any information.
