Re: Ye old IFI
Quick question while we have the experts looking -- does anybody know what that 'dongle' between the USB and the 9-pin (serial?) port is?

We've got a couple of those old dongles, and I've often wondered if you can use the USB side of the orange VEX cable with a passthru or cossover 9-pin serial? If you've tried that out and know what actually works, please let us know. We've had some weird issues with our old (orginal) USB-to-9-pin dongle and the newer Easy-C code when programming our old IFI controllers.

(Specially: the on-line window doesn't work, and it appears to download but the program never gets to the IFI controller.)

Thanks,
Keith Hall
