I am using a dead strip on my routed track and Race Coordinator for timing software. Currently my track is connected to my old laptop with a serial port connection. Since it is very hard to find old working computers with serial ports I would like to have the option of using the USB port when my current computer dies. Does anyone know of an adapter that will bridge between my serial cable and the USB port on a laptop? I know from others that a simple adapter from serial to USB will not generally work. I know someone out there must make a plug and play magic box that will do this. Anyone know where I might purchase such a device? Any help is greatly appreciated. I would like to have something that is turn key since I am a little electrically challenged.
