WTB: Laptop with serial connection.

[flarrow]

Looking for a laptop with serial connection, Windows XP perferably.
Needs to be running, will take W98 or w2000.

Below $100

I should have a Toshiba Satellite 6100 in the next few days.

$80?

[edit] it my take a little bit linger for my folks to finish with it. They are less keen to upgrade today then they were two days ago.

Ya that sounds fine. It has a serial connection?

[se7en]

why serial? megasquirt maybe?

if so, I used a specific brand of usb to serial converter, and changed a few settings, and voila.

good luck with your search.

Yeah its for megasquirt. There is one adapter that i no will work but the shipping is more than the adapter.
And i need a laptop for it anyways.
