Hi guys I've just purchased a new laptop and discovered that it hasn't got a serial port so I can't transfer programs via rs232 cable, is there such a cable out there that will allow me to do so via USB port please help #inapickle

You didn't say what controller, but I always tend to use the 3 wire RS232 cable, with the 4-5, 6-8-20 jumpered on the 25 pin D socket, (or equivalent on 9 pin).

I use these
Amazon.com : GearMo® USB RS-232 Serial Adapter with LED Indicators Win 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 Support : Computer Cable Serial Adapters : Computers & Accessories
More expensive, but awful nice having the diagnostic LED's built in.
