I have a PC / Laptop with only USB outputs, can you recommend a USB to RS232 adapter that will work, as i have tried one which does not seem to work

We have tried a device from www.easysync.co.uk on the latest NextMove ST cards at 57600 baud and it worked great.

It costs about £36, and is a very well built device - USB-2COM-M
