 JDM and Laptop, Maybe solution Hi I have built one JDM programmer and tested it to a friends laptop (toshiba) with a com port. It didn't work. I own an old Compaq Presario 1200 whithout com ports and i have bought a USB to serial adapter. The adapter produces enough voltage for the JDM programmer to work. If it doesn't work for you, just use a USB to serial converter  Thank's | |

| USb to serial converters come with a virtual com port driver wich fools your software into thinking there is a real COM port | |

| Exo is Right. Mine shows COM1 and works with every equipment i have. Also the driver name is PROLIFIC i thin'k that's the brand name of the converter. You can also look at this http://www.ftdichip.com And a serial booster (i don't use it but i think it is perfect for laptop users, just steal some power from usb port) | |
