Hi Fritz,
The other alternative is to buy the USB adapters that suit the FT1000D off ebay
- I have used one similar to this on a FT1000D for a few years.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-to-RS232-Serial-CAT-DB9-Cable-Yaesu-FT-450-FT-950-FT0450AT-FT-2000D-Radios-/400960018798?hash=item5d5b14596e:g:LawAAOxy63FS4pIx
Recent discussions seem to point to buying the board for the PC for better
reliability.
Good luck.
