PCs without serial ports are increasingly common. If you need to make a serial connection with one, you’ll need a device that adds a serial port to the system. USB adapters are the most common.

Once the drivers for the adapter are installed, you’ll see a new serial port on your system. Configure TERM or TinyTERM to use it as you would any other device.

Some versions of TinyTERM are not compatible with all such adapters. There is no patch in that case. You will need to upgrade TinyTERM instead.

CR 509, fixed in TinyTERM 4.52
