I have a cable problem! Actually it is a laptop problem.
We got a new Toshiba laptop and when we went to the plant the other day to hook up to the Modicon Compact 984 we discovered that the new laptop has no serial port. Is there a way to build one compatible with the USB? If so does anyone have a pin out?
I've seen some cables advertised that look like they might do the trick but it might be a little more fun to build one and save the $50.
