Wanting to try out the new KIO2 I found that my computer has only
USB ports. Is it possible to cobble up an adaptor to get from the DB9 to the USB port?

The DB9 to serial port is not as simple as wiring it together. It
requires a dedicated USB chip and converter for use with DB9. You can buy a ready made USB to DB9 but it still may not work with the KIO2 since the USB to DB9 is a virtual port and not a true serial DB9 port. You may want to ask if anyone has been successful using the serial DB9 to USB converter with the KIO2.
