Hi all, I plan on buying a new laptop soon and I've noticed that they almost never have RS-232 serial ports anymore (it does not surprise me). I know the topic of USB-based RS-232 ports has been discussed here quite some time ago. I am mainly interested in using one to run my Warp 13 programmer. Anyone have any idea how well that would work? It would probably be with Win XP. Alternatively, if anyone can recommend a USB-based PIC programmer, that might be a better option.
