Thanks Steve.  can you confirm whether or not its then okay to plug the
serial cable between the Worm and the adaptor or is it better to plug
the worm direct?

Hi Ian,
 
All new Bookworms now come with a USB to Serial converter.  These are
nothing special and any USB to Serial converter should work, even
without XP drivers.
 
All the best

Can anyone advise me as to the most effective way of connecting a
bookworm (a serial device) to a PC via the USB port please?  I suppose
what I'm wondering is whether I'd need just a cable with serial to USB
or an adaptor with all sorts of fancy Dan drivers.
