anyone having a problem getting hondata romulator and datalogging to work simultaneously on their newer laptops? i have a sony viao pcg-xg38 and it doesnt have either 9 pin serial or printer ports. i had to buy a keyspan usb combo (2 extra usb, 9pin serial, and printer port).

the problem im having is that i dont have another serial to get both romulator and datalogger to work simultaneously because i still only have 1 serial port. anyone have any suggestions on how i should get this all to work out???

 

they are selling converters from serial to usb

 

yeah i have the keyspan one...but my problem is i dont even have a 9 pin serial on my laptop...im not sure but i think all the newer laptops dont have them anymore...so that still makes me 1 serial short

 

that's why you buy the usb serial converter that way you connect the other device to the converter which then plugs into the usb port.

hondataDevice1 is using the serial on keyspan usb combo
hondataDevice2 will use USB with the usb/serial converter

 

yeah i was just trying to see if there was another alternative because that other keyspan USB to serial is another 30...and i already spent 60 on the keyspan combo pack

 

u need this i think:

Just buy 2 Keyspan usb to serial adapters

 

yeah i ended up gettin one just now...cant believe i jsut spend 100 on just the keyspan adapters
