USB/DB-9 Adapter

N1SQB · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2007, 09:40 AM

I am using Windows Vista on my laptop.(6 Months old). As most of you know,DB-9 ports are a thing of the past in laptops. I need a reliable DB-9/USB adapter for all my software to program my radios. Anyone know where I can get a reliable one? Ratshack has one but my trust level for their stuff is at an all time low.

Hey, thanks. At the time I needed an adapter to work with my 64bit Vista Ultimate install, I had to order the one I mentioned in the other post. With the drive on the site you post, I can now use all adapters I have with all my PCs. Thanks man. :-)
