Serial to USB Converters
 
I know alot of people were keeping old laptop tops around just for the Serial port which is no longer supported. I have come across 5 Serial to USB converters in the last few days and would like to start selling them.

similar to this listed at $39... http://www.gridconnect.com/rs232usb.html

$5 Shipped (within the USA) is what I'm asking (basically enough to cover shipping)

Let me know if interested!

Have you tested this with MS? I know that it is hit or miss on which serial to usb converters work.

boardboy330 10-07-2008 09:48 AM

Wes, I have not. I work in IT...and came across these from I dont know when. And to be honest - I have no clue why I would have bought 10 of them :-) But I did...so I'm getting rid of stuff...IT related here.

Thats cool. $5 is a great price none-the-less.

Well, I've been having a hell of a time finding a decent (i.e. not complete junk) laptop for tuning with a serial port. PM me your paypal, and I'll take one.

WestfieldMX5 10-08-2008 09:48 AM

I'll take one as well. PM sent.
(shipment to a US address of course, not to belgium)

Great price, IF they work with the MS.

rleete 10-09-2008 07:40 AM

Hey, for 5 bucks, it's worth a try. If it doesn't work, I can always use it to connect my old joystick to the computer and play Red Baron again.

Oh, come on. That's only like 1.5 gallons of gas money. Don't be such a negative-nancy.

boardboy330 10-09-2008 11:40 AM

If I had a MS...I would have tried it. I did try it on an old CD Rom that I found. Everything read fine.

ArtieParty 10-09-2008 11:45 AM

As soon as mine comes in, I can test it with the MS.

boardboy330 10-14-2008 01:37 PM

blue turbo mx5 10-14-2008 04:18 PM

tronik 10-14-2008 09:42 PM

for when these are gone, fyi, you can get cables for $3 shipped on ebay. They are from china, but hell, $3. unknown if they work with emanage, or lc1, I'll know soon I guess

gamman 10-14-2008 11:35 PM

I'll take one.

boardboy330 10-15-2008 10:00 AM

That's fine...I threw $5 out because I didn't know the cost. I only found them for $39 listed online. I'm not trying to screw anyone over.

boardboy330 10-24-2008 11:34 AM

Thanks to everyone for helping me clean out the garage! I have one left if anyone needs it. Also, thanks to those of you who left me feedback.
