No dude, the adapter will have 2 connectors, one USB end and one SERIAL end



... which is backwards. Those adapters don't work like that. The USB end of the cable is designed to plug into the USB host (your PC) not the device. The serial end of the cable is usually a male DB9 - that won't plug into your PC. Those adapters are designed to plug a serial device into a USB host (I have one on my protrack cradle for example) not the other way around.
it's like incest - you're substituting convenience for quality

Oh pppphtttt...

Just get a USB to PS2 adaptor (the kind they use for mice) then get a PS2 to DB9 serial adaptor (again for mice) and plug it into that.. Will it work? I have NOOO idea, but it'll fit ;)

Course, it WOULD be interesting to find out
