Hi,
No, there is no option with this display for a USB connection. This display
is about seven years old.
Someone else suggested trying the serial port, but will have to look into
that, as I think it is already being used.
If I can't get it resolved, I will just have to get accustomed to it. Life
with computers. <smile>
