1203-USB
I can't find it for sale new so I assume it's no longer made? Used, folks want no less than $1k USD for it missing all the cables and in "untested" condition. Complete working kit is $2k USD (or more).
How much did it cost new? Is it all just scalping or were these actually so expensive to start?
Is there no way around it? Can I cobble together my own 1203-USB kit out of hacked-up ethernet and PS/2 cables and such, with a generic USB-RS232 converter?
How come nobody (looking at you, @geniusintraining) makes an alternative? Is that little "anacanda" box actually doing something special that is hard to replicate? Or is it just another USB>Serial converter but backed up by a team of Rockwell lawyers?
