Any port in a storm.

Time sensitive hardware question: I have a Biloxon SRP-370 thermal receipt printer. It uses an LPT cable. The POS computer uses lpt or com, but the software only talks to COM. Therefore, I need the printer to use COM instead. Where can I buy a com port that will fit it and get it shipped overnight?

I assume you want the serial interface card for the printer (as opposed to the parallel interface card it already has). You could see if that company does overnight shipping or there are other places that sell the same card. Make sure you have the right cable as well.

Ordered from sunshinesupport. They were kind and reasonably priced. I recommend them for posterity.
