4 of 5 Finally, a serial adapter that seems to work! Tuesday, July 31, 2007 A Customer from Kansas City, MO
I have a newer Dell, E1505 laptop with a fast, duo-core processor, nice big screen and all the bells and whistles. I purchased it for everyday use, and especially for programming automotive engine computers (ECUs). Much to my frustration, It has no serial (DB9) port, required for connecting to the many different ECU platforms I work on, and no standard PCMCIA slot to use with commonly available serial adapter cards.
I've tried every USB to Serial adapter available, all with limited, sketchy results. Finally, I found and purchased the Startech, 2-port Express Card adapter, and purchased it from Buy.com. The first time I connected with it I had to adjust the baud rate up, but from there it has performed flawlessly!! Finally, I can really use my new computer. Thank you Startech and Buy.com!
