Hi Jim,
I got lucky and found a new HP laptop with a DB-9 on it at Micro Center. This
was about 2 years ago so I don't know if there are any more out there.
The guy said they were special-ordered by a company that used the serial port
for trouble-shooting their machines. (Medical equipment, I think).
Here's the info if you wanna snoop around: Product: HP ProBook 650 G1

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI plus to computer hookup
Hello, My Omni VI opt. 3 is hooked up to my old Dell Laptop (new in Dec 2000).
I use that connection almost entirely for logging. It’s about time I retire
that old laptop, but newer computers don’t have those old wide connections any
more (I didn’t look up the name for those thingees); I assume that I’ll
probably have to work through a USB port. What it needed to go from the Omni VI
opt 3 to a USB port and a good working connection to the computer? If this is
old hat stuff, as opposed to Red Hat stuff, feel free to just point me in the
right direction…. Thanks, Jim AF3Z Jim Goudie — jagoudie@comcast.net 610
