> 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….
