"Serial port for remote control"!? We did enter the 21st century quite a
while back.
The Alpha 9500 needs to replace the serial port for remote control with
USB.
* Very soon PC's won't even have a serial port
o It's called "legacy free", introduced about 2 year ago
* Serial ports run at 1% the speed of USB
* USB's fast enough to display peaks in realtime, like Icom-7800 display
* USB supports plug and play
o much less setup required
o Plug it in and it starts operating
* USB's more scalable
* PC's only have one or two serial ports, very difficult to add more
* All USB cables fully shielded twisted pairs, much less EMI
* USB based microprocessors available that support software upgrades
via USB
