Running on XP/7 here and looking for a decent adaptor. Have tried 3 different types and was not happy with the results and returned them all ( Radio Shack,Staples,Keypan).
Can anyone recommend a model or brand?
I would be using this for CPS and pager programming from a laptop and desktop.
Thanks
Wayne
Recommend any decent RS232 to USB adaptors

invest in an older computer with a real serial port, don't use usb on anything that motorola don't make a usb cable for.

I never check PM's so don't bother, just email me.
I won't reply to a hotmail, gmail, aol or any other generic free address, if you want me to reply use a real address.
STOP ASKING ME FOR SOFTWARE OR FIRMWARE, I JUST FORWARD ALL OF THE REQUESTS TO THE MODERATORS

This is what I use, and I have several. They work fine with CPS on XP, Vista, and Windows 7, but XP virtual mode under Windows 7 is inconsistent:

But, I also have a computer with a real live serial port. NEVER attempt a firmware upgrade without using a real serial port.

I'll likely take both routes.
A new laptop with RSR232 port and a Adaptor cable ( for the lowend stuff)
Thanks for the infos

If you are talking USB to RS232 serial I use Edgeport products and have never ever had any issues with them working for programming.
