    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

    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.

    Hi Guys.

    Got the parts in and made up my first cable.

    > SERIAL PIC <
    > USB PIC <

    As you can see a very neat solution. The USB works great with it too, even in Vista.

    So, I have enough to make 10 of these so I guess as im 'selling' these, to avoid any issues I should put a post in the New Items section. Anyone know which mod I need to ######## to be able to do that?

    Cheers

    I use a USB to Serial conversion cable and driver at work. About £15.

    This is fascinating, they keep going on about a printe attachment but I am damned if I can see where it would attach to my chrony F1

    If people really want something knocked up I'll put together a parts list but I would have thought its going to come out ~£17-20 posted for a USB version.

    Just post the ad in the New Items section, and the first mod to see it will probably approve it.
