- Laptop with 2 db9 serial ports?
- Posted by Tom Trenker on November 18th, 2003
Does anybody sell a laptop that has two db9 serial ports?
I currently use a laptop with a two port serial pcmcia card, but find
that it isn't robust enough. (The serial cables fall off the card too
easily).
Thanks in advance,

No.
I think I last saw this on an 8086 laptop.
If you'r using a PCMCIA card with a dongle, and you have a laptop with a
dual slot, you can reinforce the dongle connection with some metal or
something so that it reinforces the connection.

Maybe try a USB to serial adapter. I bouth 2 Belkin F5U109's for less
than $40 shipped. Work great. They even work thru a USB hub with no
xternal power required.
