Laptops with RS232 ports?

frobisher · 2009-11-03 12:58:59

I'm after a few laptops that have RS232 ports on them. Old models are fine. Any ideas where I could find them?

I've seen some of the Dell Latitudes with RS232 ports.

Ebay is your best bet.. we needed to get a few for work once, got some decent spec ones off ebay. Had to change the OS on them though.

Or getting a bunch of these might be cheaper if you already have regular laptops you use...
