Desktop owners may not even need to buy a PCI board as most motherboards
already have a serial connection. All is needed is a 10-pin header to
feed the port to D-9 plug on a back plate. It often puzzles me as to
why so many people need to get a USB to serial adapter when all is
needed is a bit of simple electronics. Perhaps this is beyond many of
today's radio amateurs ;-(
Of course, if a laptop/notebook computer is being used maybe an adapter
is the only way.
