Re: Ye old IFI

If this is what you're talking about, then its a USB to Serial DB-9 (RS232) adapter. Necessary since the vast majority of laptops don't come with serial ports any longer.
For the IFI controller it'd work with a regular serial cable, but not with a null modem cable.

Can't help you with EasyC operability on the IFI controller. I didn't know EasyC was capable of that.
