Default USB to RS-232 Serial Adapter Advice

"I used a Belkin adapter with mixed results with the Colibri. One of the
things to look at is the port that it gets assigned to. The
Belkin would get assigned comm port 3 or 4 and SeeYou would only let you
have options of =A00 and 1 so would not recognise the unit. SeeYou would
allow more port options. =A0I could hard reassign the ports and make it
work."


I've had the same trouble with my Volkslogger. I got a docking
station for my laptop that has a serial port and has worked fine. I
do wish I had an adapter that worked. Any suggestions?
