Hi,

Can RB talk to a PC's Old Fashioned Serial Port?
Does anyone have any examples along those lines?

I have this stopwatch that can interface with PC's serial port but it 
uses a DOS program to receive info into a flat file.  I'd love to 
convert this to work via a RB windows app, maybe launch Excel.

Of course, I have no documentation on how to talk to this watch...
This is the watch:

If there's some way to tell the watch - send me some data, 
I got it, send me some more, I could look at what I got and
figure out what it's sending.

Probably a pipe dream, but have to ask.

Thanks,
Brad
