I've used my PS+ with a cheapo RS232-USB converter I bought off ebay for 5
uk pounds - no problems at all.

Subject: [PIC] Using Picstart+ with a USB<->RS-232 converter

Hi,

I've been offered a new laptop at work which doesn't have a serial port.
Does anyone have experience using the Picstart+ programmer with a
USB<->RS-232 converter? I'll just keep my present laptop if it doesn't
work...

Thanks, Matthew.
