Post Why am I having to muck about with old pc's!! 
Hi, yes i am new on this site but not new to retro fitting ecu's to my cars.

Can someone tell me why...

we install a nice mapable ecu/ignition system to rid our old distributor/points etc.

Only to have to dig out our old crappy pc's (if were lucky to have one as most are now replaced as technology progresses) to plug into the ecu unit to download our maps and tune etc. Talk about going backwards!! Rolling Eyes

I am having a right mare at the mo as I have thrown my old pc and laptops away.

So why has the MJLJ v4 not progressed in the same manner as our pc's.

Oh, congratulations on an excellent site. And sorry if ive posted this incorrectly. Confused
So whats the answer?? I spose I have to buy an adaptor cable? Can anyone suggests one that actually works, instead of the mass of rubbish on ebay!!

We're migrating towards a processor that natively offers a USB port- that's the good news. Trust me, nobody hates having to use plain-old RS232 serial & USB-Serial adapters more than I Smile

Having said that, there's some information here on how to select a proper usb-serial adapter:
