    Anyone know where to find any new. I need one to connect into a Windows NT box here. I've looked all over Google. The problem is, upgrading their OS isn't an option I have.

    Or hook the camera to another PC that's compatible, dump the pics, then map a drive to the NT box.

    That's EXACTLY what I said, but they don't want to hear that right now, but it may be the only choice.

    Tell them it can't be done the way they want it. I'm sure they won't fire you.

    As an IT guy, NEVER ever tell your boss or superiors that something cannot be done.

    Just tell them how much it will cost and let them decide how badly they want it done.

    Feel free to exaggerate costs in order to sway them, but Never EVER tell them you "cant do it."

    this is idiotic.

    as an IT guy, you don't tell them how much it costs, you ask what do you REALLY need done, what is the real problem?

    Simply being asked "can I put a camera on a serial connection on an NT 4 server" BEGS me to ask "why in hell would you ever want to do that?".
