Hi,

I only have one serial port on my PC and it is currently hooked up to an
external modem (PC slots are precious to me).  So, I was planning on
using an USB->Serial converter.  Can anyone recommend a brand that has
been proven to work with the IR tower on a PC.  Thanks

Ram

Somewhere on the Mindstorms site, I found a reference to the Peracom adapter. I have not tried it, but I did buy a Belkin USB Hub with a serial port and I know that the Belkin doesn't work. Scott (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) The Keyspan PDA adaptor (www.keyspan.com) works just fine with an apple and/or the VirtualPC on the apple. Dw (25 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
