[Xastir] usb->serial adapters?

[Fred Hillhouse Jr]

I have that one and the 2 port version. Both have worked without any issues
on my RPi and the Win box.
A case would be nice though.

Best regards,
Fred N7FMH

I bought this one from Digikey /-/

6 
- IIRC,
acting on the advice of Jason KG4WSV.

It plugs into the Pi (directly; powered hub not needed), and other Linux 
computers, and works OOTB, first time, every time to provide
/dev/ttyUSB0 through /dev/ttyUSB3. I use mine to drive three TNC2 
compatible TNC's for an APRS gateway.
