Re: [PilotMgr] USB cradles and Sun serial connectors

[Todd Freter <Todd.Freter@xxxxxxx>]

Sandy,

Thanks for the reference. As I look at it, I wonder whether it would 
work. My USB cradle has the same connector that the adapter cable has. 
I'm not sure how I would connect the cradle's USB connector to the 
adapter. I would hope to find an adapter cable that had a USB port on 
one end and the serial connector on the other. Or have I missed 
something? Thanks.

-Todd.
