Does anybody have a very cheap laptop lying around?
I need a laptop with a serial port, processor, memory and HDD capacity not important as long as it has a serial port and will run Win98
It will be used for serial programming of car ECU's via the diagnostics port, my laptop does not have a serial port, only USB ports, I know you can get USB - Serial adaptors but have heard they are not very good. The other alternative is a PCMCIA serial adaptor but they are quite expensive.
I thought I would ask here as everybody is always so willing to help. Cheers.
