usb autotap?
Just wondering if anyone has purchased the new USB Autotap program? My laptop does not have a serial port. Anyone have any positive/negative experience with it?

I was in the exact same situation today. I was all set to hook up the Atap to my new HP and there is no serial port on the damm thing. I also have an an adapter, but I paid $50 for mine for CompUSAs website. I originally needed the adapter for a program for work. I hooked up the adapter and ran the program but it would not reconise the port of my work program. I talked to my tech staff and they said it was a limitation of our program.I decided to call B&B Electronics today, but I was told that BOTH techs were busy, lol. I hung up and tried it anyway and it worked fine. It had to look through something like 14 ports to find it, but nine the less it works. I would NOT by another Atap, when u will need this adapter for other things as well. Good Luck, I would try his $30 part b4 CompUSA's $50.

My only complaint so far was the registration. The key would not work. I called them and they said to add two zeros to the front of the hardware serial number and put dashes, instead of spaces, for the reg key I told them well perhaps you should just print it that way
