Upgrading to HEX-COM, question about laptop compatibility
I am going to trade-up from my ISO-COM to a HEX-COM USB. The old cable has served me well for 6+ years, but as the guys/gals at Ross suggest, there are no longer version updates for this setup.
Anyway, my question is, I want to use the USB cable, but my laptop is a PIII 450 mhz with 500 MB of RAM, running XP home. This laptop is in good shape and has both USB 1.0 and a serial port, but I know it will not last forever and newer laptops do not have serial ports. Ross-tech specifically does not support this setup, but has anyone had luck running HEX-COM USB on an older PC like mine?
Thanks!

See, the official statement is minimum of 500 mhz but we've seen cases where these 500 were not...
...enough. We've also seen cases where less worked, e.g. I used a 500 MHz Celeron myself for quite some tim. So we won't guarantee that your configuration will work but I'm certain based on experience that it does.
