Hi Jim,
I got lucky and found a new HP laptop with a DB-9 on it at Micro Center. This
was about 2 years ago so I don't know if there are any more out there.
The guy said they were special-ordered by a company that used the serial port
for trouble-shooting their machines. (Medical equipment, I think).
Here's the info if you wanna snoop around: Product: HP ProBook 650 G1

Subject: [TenTec] Omni VI plus to computer hookup
Hello, My Omni VI opt. 3 is hooked up to my old Dell Laptop (new in Dec 2000). I use that connection almost entirely for
logging. It’s about time I retire that old laptop, but newer computers don’t have those old wide
connections any more (I didn’t look up the name for those thingees); I assume that I’ll probably have to
work through a USB port. What it needed to go from the Omni VI opt 3 to a USB port and a good working connection to the
computer? If this is old hat stuff, as opposed to Red Hat stuff, feel free to just point me in the right
direction…. Thanks, Jim AF3Z Jim Goudie — jagoudie@comcast.net 610 Kraybill Church Rd Mount Joy, PA 17552
