anyone got a keyspan, or belkin serial converter?
some of the stuff i have to tune my car requires serial but the new laptop has only usb…so i need a converter and keyspan and belkin are the only ones that have been proven to work.

Word, you might steal the original Pentium hotness onoes! Honestly though it wouldn’t bug me in the least it doesn’t see use much these days besides for old DOS gaming.
Then again I hear windows 9x is the new hotness again. :tup:
