This may have not been asked before. I have a USB to Serial Adapter that works with XP. Could this device be used with Puppy? A Linux driver is involved, I'm sure and I guess like wireless adapters, not all are Linux capable. Just thought I would throw this question out there.

USB to serial adapters
yeah donde,
you reminded me that i've got a usb-serial adaptor as well. (i bought a pic serial programming board at one stage, forgetting i had no serial port!).
i might play around with the adaptor & see if i can communicate with it. this site looks promising:

Re: USB to serial adapters
donde, please see this thread (5th post down) for how I got my USB-to-serial adapter working in Puppy: http://www.murga.org/%7Epuppy/viewtopic.php?t=7251donde wrote:This may have not been asked before.

Of course your adapter may not use the same chip. Mine is identified as vend/prod 0x403/0x6001.

Methinks Raspberry Pi were ideal for runnin' Puppy Linux
