Thread: Serial Port?

  1. Angry Serial Port?

    This is crazy! I bought this device last Friday! Who has a serial port in 2010? The Amazon ad said this device was revolutionary and innovative. How is a device that has instructions for Windows 98, which as not been supported for 6 years and not sold for almost ten years, innovative? Why no USB cable? USB is the de facto STANDARD for peripheral connection in 2010. I have no desire to run all over town to get a dongle that may or may not work. Is a native USB cable available?

    Mac support would be nice, too, not by dual boot or VMWare.

    Hello Spookie and Welcome to the MP Forums.

    What is it you're looking to do with your Proteus and your computer?
