Thanks again for the suggestions. I bought a usb RS-232 serial adapter DB9
male that is win compatible. It is coming from Usbgear in Florida. Cost was
$18.09 plus postage. Hope it works. Thanks again

Depending on how Windows was installed, it may or may not change the
partition letters. There is a somewhat official standard (is it official?)
that states how partition should be lettered. Microsoft, in their infinite
wisdom, decided that they no longer need to follow it so when you boot to
different Microsoft operating systems, your drives may have different
letters.

Example: Install XP to c:. All drives will be lettered according to
standard. Then install Win7 to g:. If you start the Win7 install from XP,
then the drive lettering won't change. If you start the Win7 install from a
cd/dvd without booting to XP, then it re-letters g: to c:, and re-letters
the other drives accordingly.

Linux doesn't even support drive letters, so this problem doesn't exist
there - you simply mount your partitions where and how you want. You can do
that in Windows to some extant, in that you can change the lettering of
some of the drives, but not the system or boot partition.

It can be configured to just have one normal size icon that looks like |||

when its key is on.
