I think that's a VERY bad assumption. USB to serial adapters have "issues"
because
they are not real serial ports. One of them is that they can easily delay the
commands
by several seconds!
A Belkin USB to serial adapter, with the latest drivers downloaded from their
site,
crashed XP every time I tried to use it.
To be sure the port will work, use a PCMCIA adapter. I have a Quatech DSP-100
(2
ports) that works on both rigs that I've tested it with (K2 and TS-850),
including sending
CW.
