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.
