Workable with the board I originally got as it has 2 seperate channels, but you would need 2 free serial ports and be running 2 seperate instances of the software.
Probably be easier to make 2 cables and use 2 computers.

I've just had a quick play with serial to usb converters, they happily remap to whatever free com port you want so as soon as the level shifter comes through I'll marry them up and see if it works. (Chronys.exe detects it ok so fingers crossed)
(I have literally dozens of the serial-to-usb interface cables, so if this works I'll happily post them out to anyone who wants one for P&P charges)
Hi Guys,
If you do want a cable but cant be harrised with putting one together I could do...
3m Jack-Serial Cable for £14 + £2.89(max) recorded post.
USB-Serial adapter + £2.50 works with Win 98/Se/ME/2000/XP,32bit/Vista,32bit (probably linux too).
I'd of course like to make a few at a time if theres interest, so let me know if you are interested.
Ill test the serial-usb with the software I have too see if it can be fooled into using high port numbers.
If not no bother.
Cheers

im interested.
I'd be interested depending on the answer to the next question :
does the F1 Chrony have the jack port?

Yes the F1 does have the jack, thats what i have in pics in the original post.
On the software side, It will only recognisse ports 1 and 2 BUT most modern PCS have Com1 and Com3 taken if any so the USB-serial cable should be able to be set to com 2 and be used.

Excellent! I don't need the USB-serial though as I have a nice old Dell subnotebook with a serial port and I intend to hang onto it as the old RS232 is dying out in modern PCs.
