Subject:   Serial console on a ThinkPad?
Message-ID:  <40F7039D.3304.DFAF558@localhost>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
To help diagnose these APAPI problems with the CDRW, I'm going to 
setup a serial console on my IBM ThinkPad T41.  However, there is no 
serial port.  Well, none that I can see.  There is no traditional DB9 
plug.

The specs for the laptop say "Serial Port Type  2 (USB 2.0)".  I 
don't know how to hook that up to the serial port on another system.

I have heard of USB-serial adaptors.  Is this an option?

Ideas/suggestions.   Thanks.
