docking stations from a few years back do tend to still have serial connections btw That sir, is not rust, it is the progressive mass reduction system

Find yourself a nice Dell D630 for pin money on ebay. Ive dropped, spilt coffee on, and generally abused these many times over the years and found them to be infinitely robust - unlike a lot of the later dell's. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

I went down the serial/USB adapter route with the megajolt set up and it can be tempremental, hence looking for a laptop.

Yeah, the usb convertor can be a pain, the pcmcia is much more stable in my experience. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

From my experience with Emeralds on 5 or so different cars, if you buy the USB to serial converter that Emerald themselves supply, it will work first time every time. It is quite expensive compared to the generic ones out there, but it 100% works.

yup , i found the turquoise all in one usb adaptor was not functional on the ms2 , but the braided lead brown one worked v well. Edited by robert on 15th Apr, 2015. Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

For the USB/RS232 converter you basically need one with the FTDI chipset.
