If your machine has a PCMCIA slot, you might consider skipping the adapter entirely and using a PCMCIA card that provides a standard RS232 serial interface.
If course, many desktop machines have expansion slots available where you can add an internal RS232 port card. I guess I "got lucky" with a $30 USB/RS232 adapter from Radio Shack (RS 26-183). It works on all the machines I've tried with no problems, but I'm running Windows Xp on them.

It makes me nervour about using KUSB cables. Sometimes "progress" makes things too complex, and the oldfashioned way is best.
