Another thumbs up on the Prologix unit.

I'm not sure I had it running the day it arrived, but it was close to that.  
(I may have been busy with something else.)  My only stumbling was getting 
the flow control turned on.

YMMV etc.  I prefer working with low level bits rather than fancy GUI stuff.

I have one connected to a HP 5334B.  It's been collecting data for several 
years.

My demo/starter code is out on the web.  I'll dig up the URL if anybody has 
problems finding it.
