#118532 - USB->SERIAL converters

... I have heard some people have issues with these [USB->SERIAL converters] .. but I havent had any issues yet!

The only real issue I've had with the converters themselves is with a target that put itself into a "sleep" mode; when it woke up, the USB-RS232 adaptor seemed to lose comms...

The biggest issue I have is not with the converters themselves, but with crummy windows software that is hard-coded to allow only, say, COM1-COM4 (including some earlier versions of Hypoterminal!)

Of course, any old DOS apps that hack directly with hard-coded PC IO addresses stand no chance...
