Im using windows 7 and a Gigaware adapter from Radioshack (about $40). It make that usb port its own COM port, but it is listed and USB to Serial Adapter. It seems to be working fine with my computer and Ioline studio 8 cutter. I asked about this on this forum before and got answers..

Also windows 7 found the hardware for it online, didn't even have to use the CD that came with it. Just have to watch out which USB you put it into if you are changing it, each USB port on my laptop has a different COM number when the adapter is plugged into that USB
