Any alternate interfaces for WinALDL?
My new laptop does not have a serial port. Could parallel work or does the program only receive input via the ole' 15-pin connection?

nope... needs a serial connection. Dont use the parallelw/ a 25->15 pin adapter or youll break something. BTW, laptop w/o a serial port??? See if they make a serial adapter for usb. Ive never seen such a thing but you never know.

I've never looked for it personally, but check Belkin Components website. I've seen a USB > Serial Adaptor hub before. They make some neat stuff, should check it out. I work for a distributor, so if you want I can get one if you can't find a place to buy one.
