Hi,

I currently use a pc with com port to use my null modem cable to flash my boxes and everything is great.
I am going to get a new laptop but due to the lack of com port I need a usb to 232 adaptor
Can anyone recommend one that will defo work with Vista?

Thanks in advance

got one of Lincsat, updated and worked fine after a little fiddle with the com settings in device manager. Also comes with drivers CD
