Re: [misterhouse-users] Belkin USB to serial Adapters

[Clive F. <sc...@fi...>]

There are some pitfalls with USB/serial adapters.  I bought a USB Bay (very
cheap) and it kept crashing my PC on shutdown.  Had to get rid of it. I was
told by the shop (Maplin, which you will know Ian) that Dell's USB was not
exactly to the USB standard, but I am not sure that this is reliable
information.  It might have been a WinMe incompatibility.

I now use a Xircom, which is excellent (2 serial, 1 parallel, 4 USB).  Got
it from www.jungle.com (about £90).  Belkin should be OK, but so far as I
recall it is not on Dell's preferred list.

  Does any use a Belkin usb to serial adapter with MH or know if they work
ok ? Just thought I would ask before I purchased one.

  thanks in advance
