    I work with various old pieces of hardware that rely on serial communication.
    Due to size/budget limitations I will be using a Dell Vostro A90 (aka Inspiron Mini 9)

    Can anyone recommend a good RS232->USB adapter? Everything I have read online says "Be careful, some USB adapters are unreliable" but no one recommends a solid brand.
