Re: USB-Serial adapter
I just bought a USB/Firwire card for my laptop at Fry's. It has 2 USBII ports and a Firwire with the ability to external power incase the USB peripheral needs extra power that the PCMCIA slot cannot handle. I believe they are also avaiable at Best Buy. I remember seeing serial to USB several years ago but have not seen any lately. They were very pricey too.
