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?

Just go to Radio Shack and grab one. No one makes computers with serial or floppy drives anymore Autotap/EFIlive have USB connections now and Flashscan (when released) will be USB only

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.
