[TenTec] N4py software/Orion help

[Ron Castro]

I have had good luck with the CablesToGo adapter using Vista even though it 
doesn't specifically say it works with Vista:

I have used these with Vista on another RS-232 equipped device, although I 
have no reason to doubt it would work on the Orion II.  Two of the Tiger 
Direct reviewers also said it worked with Vista. I use one of these on my 
Orion II, although I have it connected to my old XP notebook.  The XP 
notebook and this adapter also worked fine on an original Orion I set up at 
Field Day.  For $12.99, you can't go wrong!
