USB to serial port adapters retail for around $50 or so i think
most computer stores seem to have them

its odd to have a prallell and no serial

Subject: [EE:] Alternate serial port?


I've got one of these new-fangled laptops that are too good for things like
floppy drives and serial ports.  Not realizing it was my only PC with a
functioning serial port, I shipped my desktop home from school a few weeks
early, so now I've got a PIC dumping RS-232 level debugging info and no way
to read it.  Is there any way I could easily get this in through a different
port on my laptop?  The only input ports on my laptop are usb, parallel port
and sound card.

Hopefully I'm not just SOL!
