Hi
My boss has just got us a new laptop. Unfortunately the old one had a serial port and the new one does not.
It's mainly used to connect to mitsubishi FX and AB micrologix PLCs.
I've got it working with a USB serial converter and have got it working OK but it is very slow compared to the old Win98 system.
Is this normal(I presume there is some additional translating that goes on now rather than before it was direct connect)
Thanks
Mike
PS this is the converter we have
