Question 1

I have a fairly new Laptop, and have recently purchased a computerized telescope. I will need to interface with the telescope via RS232, if my laptop doesn't have any expressbus slots, how can I use this card to interface with a device?

Accepted Answer

This card plugs into an expresscard or mini expresscard slot on your laptop and gives a true serial interface.  I use it for PLC programming, and some of our older devices will not work with usb - serial adapters.  This was the solution.  If your telescope needs serial, you might try a usb - serial adapter, as they work in most cases.  Google your model and I'm sure you can find a recommendation for one which will work, but if not, this should do the trick.

Question 2

Does anyone know if this works with windows 10?
