Well it took less than 5 mins

I now have a 9 pin com port

iwol when I was searching the net for a PC com board I came across some for

laptops too so it can be done:chthumb

Mine cost £9.00

Now waiting for me card progger thingy to arrive:chh

There is a progger that only uses the USB would this be suitable for laptops ?

Most USB programmers still need the serial(comm) port connection for phoenix and smartmouse modes. You'll have to ensure that any USB only programmer can emulate a comm port otherwise third part applications will not be compatible with it.

Hi Milkybarkid,
I think there is an Adteknik model that can program in Phoenix mode, using just a USB connection, I'll try to find out more.

I believe that's the one.


At the moment I use an Infinity Phoenix which has USB and serial cable for Phoenix mode.

Hi Milkybarkid,
A qoute from a very experienced satellite user and an owner of this programmer:

"usb only , including phoenix mode
its the yellow one , the adteknik 3.6 usb multiprogrammer"

I found this site you can take a look at:

Best wishes

I saw that progger advertised as an Elvis Multiprog USB for £49. Mabye it's got a few different names.
