Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Time for a new programmable remote…..

Hi Mike - been awhile.

I spoke to Mike last Friday (he doesn't have th e980 yet). I wanted to replace my 700 with a second 850 (I guess you can see where my head is at).

There are some simple solutions to the serial thing.

First, a serial card for the PC is dirt cheap and easy to install.

Second, there are USB > Serial Adapters that are available (and a bunch that don't work very well). I asked Mike what adapters are bullet proof and he gave two places to look . First, the Belkin F5U109, second - Keyspan products.

I don't know anything about the monoprice cable shown above.

Hope it helps.
