Entrega's hubs with serial ports or the U1S9 work great IF you download the
latest drivers
(just got mine working this morning!) from Entrega. Barbara Nostrand
inidcates that the
Pitsco catalogue has an Entrega U1S9 converter (USB to serial 9 pin) for
$59, presumably
it has been tested with RoboLab and comes with drivers that work, if you
don't want
to be bothered with downloading the latest from Entrega.
