You are 100% right, but I would still buy a VT-69 (if it existed) simply because I'd rather have just a 4-foot RS232 cable instead of a 4-foot RS232 cable plus 3-foot USB adapter. Less extra cable, less potential for tangles / tripping, easier time overall.
- fpoling 6y agoThe serial-usb adapters that I used at my previous work, including the real one providing the proper 12V, where finger-size dongles with a serial port and a flexible cable of similar length leading to USB-A connector. Essentially one one just attaches it to the serial cable and connect to the laptop as necessary making the dongle very unobtrusive serial cable extension.
