Re: Using the IFI loader with a USB-to-serial adapter?
I just order the Bafo adapter and a Cables Unlimited USB 2.0 adapter from Tiger Direct. Both seem to work great. Do a search of the forums and you'll see more on adapters. The Cables Unlimited device can plug directly into the computer (no intervening cable).

BAFO - USB 1.1 To Serial Adapter (DB9) (B133-1014) $9.99

Cables Unlimited USB 2.0 to DB9M Serial Adapter (C250-1162) $12.99

On our old laptop which just had a complete OS reload, I had to locate new drivers on-line for the schools Bafo adapter.

It does take longer to download a large program than a small one, but never 30 minutes.
