+ What Serial Port to USB adapter do you recommend?

I use a Sabrent USB to RS232 Serial adapter that I picked up from Fry's Electronics a while back. There are beaucoup different models out there, and lots of knockoffs I wouldn't trust. I selected a particular Sabrent model because it used a genuine FTDI chip and I've been happy with their other products I've bought. You can find a description here:

It works without a problem for the HP48, HP95LX and of course, the 41CL. If you're impatient to try a new or updated module (Total Rekall 2017, for instance?), you can always transfer it to RAM via the serial port. Plenty of RAM to hold your images while waiting...
