[arachne] USB on an old computer

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

A friend asked me the other day: Is there a hardware device that would
connect to (say) the serial port of an old computer, and to a USB device
on the other side?

It sounds feasible to me, but I've never heard of one.

And it is unlikely that anyone would be making them commercially.

    Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.
