Am I correct in concluding that the so-called USB Winkey is actually
nothing more than a serial Winkey combined with a serial to USB converter,
with all its associated problems? I don't see how this is any advantage
at all over using a plain serial Winkey and a serial to USB dongle,
except maybe less clutter.
IMHO, what we really need is a true USB Winkey interface.
