It's just something for me. However, my boss is working on it with me, so if it gets to that point, we'll have to see how we feel about it. We are trying to develop it with the idea of controlling more than just the 990. It's not for our work or anything like that, though... Just a personal project.

I got a message back from Steve yesterday. He didn't really discuss why, but said not to use USB to serial adapters. I asked about 12V vs 5V, but he didn't really address that. He said that some people have been able to get USB to serial devices to work, but that they're not really supported. That stinks, and I'm now on a journey to find something else. I think there are PCI to serial devices out there, but I hope I don't run into the same problem.

I'll keep working it...
