Kevin - I’m glad you like it! David - In my experience, the cheapest USB-Serial adaptor worth buying is the TrippLite Keyspan adaptor. There are more expensive ones, but this one has worked perfectly for me, on Mac, Windows, etc.
The cheapo adaptors with the prolific chipsets are horrible. I made my mistake the hard way when I lost some Nintendo 64 game-saves while trying to back them up to PC. ~George > On May 9, 2018, at 11:00 PM, David Laffineuse <[email protected]> wrote: > > Actually replaced with another adapter. > The prior one worked all evening last night, just no longer worked today. > >> On May 09, 2018, at 10:53 PM, "John R.
