    I've recently purchased a Dell Dimension 2400 having used my old computer for the last 4 years. The old one had no USB ports so all my peripherals were serial/parallel. Are there such things as adaptors for using my old hardware with the new USB ports? Thank you.

    Hi Lugwalker

    Follow this Goggle link to get started. I'm sure there will be other posters chiming in with tried and true choices.

    There certainly are - I use a Belkin USB > Parallel cable to run my second printer HP Deskjet 520. No doubt there are others. Try the Belkin site.

    Thanks, folks. I was beginning to think technology had left me and my old hardware behind :)
