For Win 2000 you need the PIC serial interface (the instructions to build it are delivered with FMS, look in FMS/Doc/Interface).

The original one shown in the FMS manual is o.k. with Win 95/98/SE/ME but not with Win NT/2000/XP.

All circuits will work, the difference between them is whether you have a 25pin or 9pin serial port on your PC and what type of PIC microcontroller you want to use. I can't tell you either of those sorry.

The choice of PIC will probably depend on what facilities you have for loading the required program.
