I just bought a bargain Dell laptop PC. I knew it would come with Win XP but 
was told that the latest version(s) of CT WIN would run OK.

What I didn't envision was that the laptop would lack both a serial and 
parallel port. It has three USB ports. I don't do computer control of the radio 
(an old TS930S) but can't live without CT sending CW. I've spent all day asking 
around, and looking at CT-User archives, and there doesn't seem to be a 
work-around.

Spending any more money, other than for perhaps a cable, is not an option.

Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help,
