Hi

I know MSD do the Serial RS232 lead for the IAW monitor software, but do they sell the USB version.

or know anybody who does sell them, (or who has one )

I have also had a look on the RP-Labs website and they list a USB version there but obviously MSD is their distributor for their products.

Yes we do but it's not cheap. Not sure on the actual amount but I'm sure we have some in stock

 

how much is not cheap??

 

I'm hving the same problem want to buy a laptop but new ones don't have a rs 232 port

So i'm stuck in every direction... and don't wanna spend silly money on a old laptop.

HELP!!!!

 

I think they're about £80

 

i've got an old laptop with serial port that you can have (just pay postage). the battery doesn't work so it needs a mains supply (direct mains into laptop, not separate power supply) which is a pain when working on cars, but not insurmountable as you can get an inverter pretty cheap these days.

 

Can you not use a USB-serial converter?

no apparently they don't work very well although i have used a pcmcia RS232 card and that works spot on

 

Cheers Nick PM me how much and your address and i will send u it

Thanks Again
