Will you be running DOS?  Probably not.  USB isn't supported under DOS and you 
won't find drivers.  If you are running CTWin, then you can buy a custom device 
to do the keying or a USB to port adapter (like those from microham).  I would 
however, recommend using the parallel for keying.  Do you have one?  My new 
laptop didn't come with a serial port, an IRDA port, or a PS2 port, but it did 
have a parallel port.  Go figure, that was the biggest connector.
