All of the USB-Serial adapters I have encountered seem to have latency issues,
Not a problem with this project - it's just a means to upload the new ignition timings.
AFAIK Brainboxes.... But be warned that these cards are not cheap.
Not the one for me then!
if you are dealing with a desktop then you may well find the serial ports on the systemboard, have not been brought out to the back panel.
No dice - it's all Mac hardware here, USB or firewire.

I bought one from www.Ebuyer.com a couple of years ago and it has worked fine on my laptop ever since. Works out of the box with gtk-term and you can even toggle the handshake lines. They are only a few pounds; their product code is: 40608
Cheers. I'll take a look!
