I'll second that Boris...
The K1EL keyers are excellent and easy to build if you
go that way. Make sure you follow the driver load
instructions EXACTLY...
I found the Tripp-Lite U209-000-R USB to Serial
Adapter to work with all of my computers and N1MM. It
took three (other brands) tries to find an adapter
that worked with all. Cheap too, around $15.
Cheers,
Julius
