Author Topic: Need a laptop Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 07-28-2009 01:28 AM                     You can hit Craigslist for older laptops that have the serial port already on. I have an old Micron P266 GoBook (1998) with Win98 installed that is great for my Dolby/DTS junk since I have both the serial extention cable and the null modem cable that DTS uses. But, I do have a USB to serial cord that I use with my DELL Inspiron 6000.. works great! -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-28-2009 08:17 AM                     quote: Phil Ranucci Thanks for all the replies. The reason I asked about a serial port is because Barco requests it. Ya got to have serial to get logged onto the TI boards in case all else has failed. Serial always works... if the boards are working. Most other D-Cinema equipment use USB except USL JSD-80 and Dolby CP-650. Mark  |  IP: Logged
