I have tried to use the serial connection between my new DSC-F505 and my good old laptop (an IBM Thinkpad 760 without USB). In device manager, COM1 is reported as working properly. But when I connect the camera , accurately following the Sony manual instructions, all what happens is a total freeze. Not even Ctrl-alt-delete is working. I know that I should buy a PCMCIA memory card adapter, but it is very expensive in my country. I would rather buy a 32MB memory stick for that money.
Had the serial port working before? If not, try this, disable the infered port and click start choose IBM Thinkpad 760 open it and locate the com1 (serial) and enable it. It should work fine. Goodluck.
