[CQ-Contest] USB-to-DB9 Interface

[David J. Sourdis - HK1A]

The best thing I have used, at professional and ham level, to adapt to a serial port is a PCMCIA card. USB to serial DB-9 was always a problem.
It was faster to update firmware to SCADA units at work and in the shack CW TX with N1MM would nevert go berzerk.
PCMCIA to serial port adapter:

Now, PCs do not carry PCMCIA slots anymore. So, to get a PCMCIA slot you would need a USB to PCMCIA adapter to connect the above adapter :o(((
Back to square one!.
