Solve : Cable to a duplicating machine?

1.	Solve : Cable to a duplicating machine?
Answer» I have a duplicating machine for duplicating cards, and a cable which came with it. That has a male and female nine-pin plug at each end. The male side fits in to the duplicating machine, but there appears to be no nine-pin plug on my Dell, only a 15-pin port, which I am told is not for that, and another 27-pin port of some sort. I want to use my new computer rather than the OLD obsolete ONE; is there a conversion cable I can get?What kind of computer do you have? Most have a nine pin serial port on the back. Or, you can USB to serial port adapter. do a GOOGLE for USB to Serial Adapter. I have a XPS M1710, and that does not seem to have a nine-pin port, it does have a USB port, so I can link that to the cable?That may be the best OPTION.
