That should be fine although pricey.
I have a brand new Belkin USB to single Serial adapter with driver cd if you want it for £5 + £2 P+P?
Can post up pics tomorrow if you wish?

What are you trying to connect? Do you have your own driver cd for the device?

You sure it's not the cable?, not a cheap ECU cable from ebay?. Some of them are shit. Don't suppose you have a m8 or know anyone with a laptop, with a serial onboard to test?.

yeah, i've never been sure about USB to serial converters, i've had a few problems in the past.
I would stick with a pcmcia card but google around as you'll beable to get one a lot cheaper that £50

I've had plenty of things delivered from HK. Not had a problem yet but imagine it's a pain to sort sending back etc...
The first ebay link I think is from someone in the UK and only a little dearer.
