- I don't have time to correct your English, but MCM Electronics has a serial
- parallel converter for about $40. It is a non-trivial task, since you have
- to store bits &c. Their number is 1.800.543.4330 and the part # is 83-0175
- I own MCM and will make hundreds if not thousands of dollars because of this
- post.

- Next time, restrict the distribution a little.
