Hi,
I am looking for a laptop with serial and a parallel port which appears
to be endangered species now a days.
So one option is to use PCMCIA-serial card
I am thinking about buying this one ( it is without serial,parallel
ports)
Acer Aspire 5000 ( AMD Turion 64bit with DVDRW )
http/global.acer.com/products/notebook/as5000.htm
I will be using Linux,Solaris ( and never windows ) on the notebook.
Has anyone used PCMCIA-serial without much trouble on Linux? If yes
then which brand?
I will be using serial port among other reasons for programming my
microcontroller programmer boards using GPUTILS (
http/gputils.sourceforge.net )
second option would be USB<->RS232
Again has anyone used such devices with Linux,Solaris,FreeBSD?
If yes which brand/model?
What do I do about parallel port?
Has anyone found any good Docking Station working great on Linux?
Thanks
