Team 237 has been though this stage already and IFI website helped us out.
This thread/post (read the last post) talks about the USB to Serial adapter situation and they suggest the
Radio Shack Model 26-183. It is a little expensive but it works great with all of our laptops. We have used it to calibrate our CMU Cam and to program the robot with very little issues. LOL.. When you plug the RC into a laptop with that converter, Windows says, "New Hardware found: Microsoft Mouse" .. don't worry, it is nothing to be concerned about.
