I have a serial to vga cord.
It just sits in my desk all wrapped up doing nothing all day.

>Serial to vga cord
The fuck are you talking about?
It's a DB-9 serial cable with one male and one female end.

Try any of those refubrished Lenovo slim form factor PCs, they all have these ancient ports standard. Dell Optiplex might have them as well. Check eBay. They're fucking everywhere for dirt cheap.

Its probably a ega to cga cable. Ega is an old graphics interface that looks like vga. Cga uses db9 like rs232. They were used in pre vga computers to interface them with even older monitors. I have one myself for a cga monitor in an arcade cabinet.

VGA is analog and MDA/CGA/EGA is digital.

there are a few mb that have. even lpt
i was surprised there were even 1151
look for h110m

LPT was way more common recently then RS-232, serial was and is premium now-a-days for legacy applications, many companies pay extra for it.

don't buy a turbo chink adapter and it will work.
Zachary Diaz
No it won't. Adapters only work with UART
David Bell
Don't motherboards normally have an RS-232 header?
Henry Hall
here's a little tip
those built in ports in any modern computer are connected via the USB bus.
Carter Collins
most SBC's include a real UART
Kevin Wood

Not all.

Nah, I rarely seen ones that use USB, most are real serial, you know it takes nothing to implement it in a southbridge, they all have it.
Dylan Long
Most new ones don't have it at least as far as laptops go. We try to get them where I work in IT for obvious reasons, but most laptops don't have it so they can be thinner. I know the second generation of the HP 650 i think may have them but the new generation doesn't have them so findng one may be hard. It might be the 850

Addon board.
You could also check if there is an internal port on you motherboard. For some obscure reason even modern motherboards come with those.
