It's neat to hear about the new USB GPS devices coming out. But does
anybody note the price on these things? I sort of factored out anything
over $500 when I was looking around. But still, doesn't seem like there
are very many out there yet.
Back to my original question, what are you guys all using for your
serial adaptor? I'm familiar with the Keyspan stuff, which I guess
works great, but it seems awfully expensive (IMHO) for stupid simple
serial input that every computer from the Mac Plus to Beige G3 could do
for free (just a little re-wiring to fit the connector). So my question
is probably really what is the cheapest solution available. Not so much
because I can't possibly afford a Keyspan, but because it's providing
me with a so incredibly fundamental function, yet it's so expensive.
Kind of like the way cartridge manufacturers charge so much for their
brand-name cartridges, yet they don't really cost much to make...
