I would suggest you find a older computer withe the correct port and use it. That being said their have been several threads on this on this forum I will now try to find them and put links here. |

Silver Member Username: Ke5aqnShawnee, OK USA Post Number: 255 Registered: Sep-06 | I still go back to go find a cheap mabee free older computer and use it just for this purpose. I use a older dell laptop that was on eba$y for $200. I got it home and loaded it with win 2000 and it works great..Its easer to take the laptop to the receiver without having to dig it out of its home, bring it over here to main computer, load bin's, take it back...now i just take the laptop to the receiver the serial cable is right their already for me easy as pie... |
