cohesion 0 Posted March 27, 2009 You can buy a keyspan. It's a USB to serial adapter. I got mine off of Ebay, TigerDirect has them, as do other sites. I think Radio Shack might have them, but if you can wait for it to ship, the internet has them cheaper I'm sure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
