I am looking on ebay at a serial-to-usb adapter to use with a trackball that has a serial connector on its cable. This thing comes with a CD for Windows. Does anyone know if this is something I can use on a Linux machine? What would I need to have to use it?
Presumably you mean machine side = USB and Device side = Serial? It might work. I had some of these that worked in Opensuse 10.something. But there is no way to know ahead of time unless the vendor tells you the chipset. The ones I had were automatically detected and worked. YMMV. (I no longer have these, so I can't remember the chipset involved, but I seem to remember there were not a lot of different manufacturers and all the chips tended to be the same). -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
