More on this USB-to-serial port business.
At work, we also have the problem of running legacy stuff with a modern
USB-only laptop (Lenovo).
Best bet is to use a full port replicator in our case. We got 1 to see, &
opened the case. Lo & behold, zero electronic parts - just wires from the
zillion-way connector to all the "normal" connectors on the back! I want one
too, as I ran into the problem today, trying to install a finger-print
reader on my LT. "Missing dongle" said the program.
Is there somewhere to buy refurb'd LTs with LPT/COM/FDD/CD (& USB!), like
the ancient Armada E500 I have to use?

BTW, my new HP laptop does not have a serial port and my weather station
connects via a serial port.
Thanks,
Warm Regards,
