KUSB to serial

[Ken817821]

I am wondering which way to plan for K3 updates -- USB port or serial port on your computer.

I am concerned about XP or Vista software being up to date for supporting  the USB port.    

Maybe someone with more experience can interpret the cryptic notes on the K3 software page related ot prolific.
See the big red IMPORTANT and the related URL for prolific.

Ken,

Use the real serial port if you can.  They are always more reliable than
the adapters.
If you must use the adapter, make certain you have the latest drivers.
