I have a dive computer which uses parallel cable or serial to download info to computer. XP does not support the parallel connection, so for XP, must use serial. Just purchased a IBM laptop that has NO serial port.

Is there any driver available to support the parallel cable download on XP????

Is there a reliable serial to parallel adapter on the market

Any suggesstions??

Thanks in advance

Use google to find the free userport.zip, which is a small
application you run that gives user level access to the parallel
port on XP/2K/NT machines. This may allow your parallel port
software to run as usual. You can get usb serial port adapters
like below and use on the notebook if it has a usb port.
