I do not use book sense Audrey but I do have a USB adaptor which has a seriel port to which I can plug in a seriel device and then plug the USB in to my PC. I bought it years ago in Maplin when USB Ports first came out. ----- Original Message ----- From: Audrey Tonge To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 11:27 PM Subject: [access-uk] Perhaps someone could help with a bookworm connection problem Hi all. recently, my faithful old computer bit the dust and I have just got a brand new one with winndows 7. ON the old PC, there was a serial port connection that I could use to download and upload from the PC to the bookworm, on this new one, there is no serial port to connect to. My question is, how do you now connect the bookworm with no serial port on the PC. I am really hoping someone can help? Thanks Audrey
