No Serial Port
I was wondering, is there any way to download a program from a computer with no serial port. Is there any kind of adapter for USB-to-serial or something of that nature? Or perhaps a PC card? Or am I just out of luck? Any help on this would be appreciated. My team has 5 notebooks available for use, but only one (a circa-1996 Pentium 90 with no battery) with a functional serial port.
