Hello to all. I've been considering buying a new (newer) PC and am concerned about one thing, and that is the lack of serial ports. The new PC's seem to come loaded with USB's and only one serial por

If you keep FSK on the serial port (or use AFSK) most other functions work OK on many of the USB to serial adaptors. See http://www.aa5au.com/rtty.html for a recent collection of info on USB adaptors

The other way to around the ports issue is to build your own PC. Which is really quite easy. The main issue is the motherboard. Many sites such as Tiger Direct, give very thorough descriptions of the

Let me add that you can buy a "bare bones" computer which means that the motherboard, floppy, memory, CR, etc are already installed. Just add hard disk (or move the one from the old computer which is

Getting computers with two serial ports is getting tougher. But there are many motherboards out there that have the two ports, it just that they are not being sold to PC makers as they cost a few dol

Both Mssrs. Brannigand and Reisert are correct. Fully assembled puters are cheap. barebones kis are even cheaper. I'll never build a MP class tranceiver. But I can put together from pieces parts, a p

Right, all modern mainboards have 2 com ports on them. I've never bought a PC from a store, but I'm sure that only the top Brand Name pc farming companies are eliminating the com ports from their co

My favorite emporium of impulse buying, Costco, does have one with two serial ports for about $800, I think, if anyone is that interested. I use the one serial port on my 4-year-old Dell for FSK with

It's quite common for only a single com port to be brought out to the rear of the machine. In many cases the second com port is on the board in for form of a 2 by 5 pin connector. Unfortunately there

Some excellent reading on all the posts to this subject. John is correct in saying to use the on-board COM port for FSK. However, I've asked Santa Claus to bring me a Belkin F5U103 USB-to-Serial adap
