[TenTec] Omni VI plus to computer hookup

[k8mp at aol.com]

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  L4A21UT#ABA

Later, Joe, K8MP

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….
