Ditto for a laptop (or desktop) that comes
with a floppy as standard anymore ...
More shooting from the hip there OM? B-)
(Might be good to slow down a bit ...)

Rick,
I do not understand your statement below. New business computers from Dell
do not come with a "real" or "true" RS-232 serial port. They haven't for
years. USB 2.0 and now 3.0 ports - yes. RS-232 serial ports - no. If you
have a part number for a current production Dell business laptop that comes
with an RS-232 COM (serial) port, please share it with us.
73,
Marsh, KA5M

Actually just about any brand new business laptop from Dell or Lenovo has a
true serial port and you can always boot dos from a floppy.
