It's doable. I use the "E-Legacy Extender" to add a real serial I/O port to current model Dell Latitude E-series laptops. I also have a Dell Latitude E6420 XFR ruggedized laptop with built-in serial port, but it surprisingly is implemented using a built-in USB-serial converter, as opposed to a "real" I/O port. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
