USB-to-Serial (9-pin)

I am working feverishly to find an adapter that will turn a standard USB port into a serial port so I can use a spaceball 5000 (serial) with a computer that has no serial port. I've tried several that I purchased on eBay, and only one of them worked so far, and only with a newer computer with USB 2.0, rather than my old home computer with USB 1.1. Can anyone help me out here?

Hello,

I would suggest going to a store and purchasing a PCI 4 Serial Card.
Most pc have an available card slot unless you've already used them up.

Hi wrighttrack,

A word of caution: 3Dconnexion no longer provides active support for serial devices on Windows. All newly released software will only work with USB devices.
