I'd recommend making an investment this time. The 6-foot one is only $15 from tiger direct. Add $6.99 for shipping to Tewksbury, MA, and you get $21.98. I say, just buy one, you'll be glad you did.

If you are in a REAL HURRY, you can find USB to Serial cables at most any Electronics Store..

Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack or ...

Look for a Belkin F5U109 or an I/O Gear GUC232A or a KeySpan USA-19HS. At Radio Shack they have had a couple different ones, Try Part # 26-949 or Part # 26-183.

I just found this site USBSerial, that has all kinds of USB to Serial adapters. The Vex Programing Kits from IFI have a Prolific PL-2303 chip in them.
