USB ---> Serial Adapter Well I finally got a plaptop to use for ATAP and need to get an adapter to be able to use it. My machine only has UBS's (great idea Toshiba! 
) but it was free so I can't bitch. 
What adapters are out there for me?

Or Best Buy. Mine cost like $30 - came with cable and software. I use it with the older A-tap and LS1 Edit. The only thing I found "weird" was the COM port. On A-tap I use COM 1; on LS1 Edit COM 4. No idea why, but it works great.

If your laptop has a PCMCIA card slot, you can use RS-232 card. I have this one and it works fine. I've heard using the PCMCIA are faster and more reliable then using USB. Maybe somone can chime in. I also know Belkin's USB serial port adapter with ATAP too.

After doing some research part of the reason for the Keyspan being faster is because the Keyspan was designed to be a Serial Port while the Belkin is meant to be a PDA Adapter. LS1 Tech Stories
