Don't know why they put it there but it seems it will be handy. Desktop mother boards seem to still have one too (at least those I bought recently). They just don't ship the connector anymore (MB to card-plate connector). Keeping the old stuff can be useful. > For serial consoles I use modified USB download cables > intended for oldish mobile phones. > (Old mobile phones need USB to RS232-like serial conversion > but with outputs at TTL levels. > Unfortunately recent ones are USB directly so the download > cables are just straight wires.) > For my LaCie Ethernet Disk Mini V2 NAS, I use a DKU-5 cable > intended for old Nokia mobiles as I described here: > http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic.php?f=146&t=71. > I bought mine off eBay for about $4. Well eBay isn't what I would call "trustworthy"... But as I've just answered to Hai Nguyen Dang, I can muster all the parts. I'm just lazy :) Thanks, -- Sylvain Sauvage -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
